it happens to me once in a while, after i leave my computer and resume working, sublime is all dark and i can’t see only the window frame, not more. it happens after the computer went to screen saver mode or sleep/stand by. it happens on vista, and i am not sure but i thin also on xp. in order to resume working i need to restart sublime, and it all goes back nicely.

vim.

This is a known issue, which I’ve spent some time on. This is a side-effect of using Direct3D for rendering - it’s possible to fix it in some situations, but the ‘fix’ makes other things worse.

I expect that if you pass --opengl on the command line, you won’t have any of these issues.
