Cannot drag text

#1

Ubuntu Linux 64bit. Subl 3047.

I can select text just fine. And cut and paste work as they should. But if I move the mouse after selecting text, nothing happens. If I click Alt before dragging a selection, the mouse cursor changes to a dragging-hand, or dragging-fist, but there is no movement of text.

The word ‘drag’ doesn’t appear in keybindings-user or -default. Should it?

This appears to be a bug on Linux builds of Sublime, affecting both ST2 and ST3. It seems to work fine on Windows and Mac.

Still not working in latest ST3 beta (on Debian). Will it ever be implemented/fixed?

Do you have “drag_text”: true in your preferences?
