I’m encountering the same issue. Deleting my ~/.config/sublime-text-2 directory does not resolve the issue.
More details:
- I’m running 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 and XFCE 4.8.0 (the OP was running Xubuntu, which makes me wonder if this is XFCE-related. I can try to reproduce the behavior in Gnome or Fluxbox if that would help narrow it down)
- I have the latest Sublime 2.0.1 (installed using the instructions here: ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/sublime)
Reliable repro steps on my box:
- rm -r ~/.config/sublime-text-2
- subl foo.txt
- type abcdef
- select “abc” on line 1, ctrl-x
// the abc line doesn’t disappear at this point, as I’d expect it to - place cursor on line 3, ctrl-v
// line 3 now contains “abc”, line 1 still has “abc” - press enter a few times
// new lines are created as expected, but the cursor doesn’t move - it remains at the beginning of line 3
Let me know if there’s any more info I can provide. I love Sublime and use it on Windows, but my primary development is done in Ubuntu and this funky behavior essentially blocks me from using it every day.
