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.
