I am having this exact problem on Ubuntu 12.10 with XFCE, it really makes the program hard to use, and Unity 3d is unusable for performance reasons for me.
I would like to see this bug resolved.

Exactly the same problem, Ubuntu 12.10 XFCE, ST2 Build 2217
When you press Ctrl-X, program “thinks” over 5 seconds. More: the cursor is not properly updated (the shadow on the left bar is moving, but | is not). It seems it’s exactly the described problem…
This is also happening to me on Xubuntu 12.10. I just paid full price to register this program and it’s very disappointing to learn that this is a known issue that has been happening for almost half a year and is reproducable without being fixed. I can’t cut text without breaking the stupid thing, yet I am loving all the other amazing new functionality I’ve never had before with any other editor. This is a serious WTF.
And the only so-called support for Sublime Text 2 is posting in a forum, yet there’s direct e-mail for sales? That’s really poor customer service. Really.
I’m unable to replicate this.

Same issue here, using xfce and ubuntu 12.10 (64bit version)
The cursor stops moving after copy, but just the visually representation of it. When I start typing the letters appears in the expected place, but the cursor itself is still stuck where it was when i copied text.

iznogood and I both have the issue on the 64-bit version of Xubuntu. Maybe that is required to replicate. It could be the 64-bit version, or it could be xfce instead of Ubuntu’s bloated window manager.
In addition, I’m having the same problem (on 64-bit Xubuntu) when I copy/paste.
Do you have a 5-second timer somewhere in your code? Because this looks like a huge clue:
When I copy then paste, then use the arrow keys on the keyboard, the cursor stays put but the highlighting in the left margin moves with the arrow keys. If I type, the text is entered by the highlighted margin, not the cursor. If I take my hands off the keyboard and wait, it looks like after exactly five seconds it will correct itself.
I hope this helps.
I am having the same issue. Linux Mint 13 XFCE 4.10 64bit
Unfortunately it does make Sublime unusable (I am a paid licensee)
Hope it gets fixed soon.
I’ve just e-mailed sales@sublimetext.com requesting a refund, since this bug is being ignored. I e-mailed them weeks ago asking for some support on this and heard nothing in return. Many of us have chimed in on this thread complaining that it makes the product unusable. We’ve explained in detail what environments it doesn’t work on.
I urge all of you affected by this to also request a refund to show them that this issue is important. Why should we throw away money for an unsupported product?

I received my refund yesterday, so I’m not going to complain about it anymore.
I’m disappointed that there was no apology, explanation, or even an excuse given. Just a refund notification from PayPal.
I really like Sublime Text 2, and I told several people about it when I first started using it. I really hope they fix it and improve their terrible customer service image. Hopefully I’ll once again be a customer.
last days ctrl+X doesn’t work me too
I tried:
sublime.log_commands(True)
ctrl+x do nothing (no action)
only double ctrl+x do cut action (after second time)… what happens? No other ctrl-x shortcut conflict in my settings
it is generally a plug-in that causes these kinds of faults. Try disabling plug-ins and check the Console (Control ’ ) for error messages.
No plugins was installed last days in SublimeText, now I use shift + del (another cut shortcut in ST2) but it is not so comfortable now.
It is another strange behaviour of ST2, another one I described there Hot exit stopped to work
No answer. Shame that ST2 support don’t respond for user requests
I found another workaround… after pressing ctrl+X notging happens, but next, when press up arrow, selected text disappers and goes to clipboard.
Just magic )
Having the same issue here. Ubuntu 11.04 with XFCE
Cut does actually copy the selected item to my clipboard, but it doesn’t remove it from the line.
Also, using the arrow keys doesn’t move the visible cursor, which is extremely frustrating.
I am having the same issue.
Any “cut” action (via ctrl+x, shift+delete, Edit > Cut) results is loss of responsiveness for the cursor for roughly 5 seconds. In fact, if I use the arrow keys to move to a different line during this time (indicated by the margin highlight rather than frozen cursor), the cut action applies to whichever line I end up on rather than the line / lines where the cut action originated. There is no error output in the console (actually the console reports the cut action immediately as shown in a video in one of the earlier comments), and I think it’s relatively safe to say it’s not caused by conflicting packages because I am using a fresh install.
As many others have said, this makes the editor essentially unusable, and I would love to hear of a fix. Can anyone verify whether or not this issue is fixed in Sublime Text 3 beta?
Running Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit w/ XFCE.
For now, I’ve gotten things to work sub-optimally using the workaround mentioned by stestagg (combination of installing parcellite & killing xfce4-settings-helper).
Same issue as everyone else here, however I am on Ubuntu 12.10 with the default Unity 3D (not XFCE). Tried resetting per the recomendation and like everyone else it did not solve the issue.
My use case:
Well after applying the updates via the Ubuntu Update Manager and restarting this morning, I am no longer experiencing the Ctrl+x/cut cursor issue.
For anyone that is interested, here is the dpkg.log from my update this morning: https://gist.github.com/scottweaver/4980844#file-ubuntu-12-10-dpkg-log
