strange compilation behaviour

I installed stino 3 about ten days ago with the arduino IDE 1.8.3 and have been using it very happily ever since. It is a great project!

I'm seeing some strange behavior during compilation. I've found a workaround, but this seems to be quite bug-like.

I have some reasonably lengthy code divided into two .ino files and a bunch of other .h/.cpp files (I am merging two projects written differently). Everything was fine until this afternoon when I attempted to add a trivial function at the bottom of the main .ino file and the compiler started to throw error: stray '#' in program followed by a whole bunch of does not name a type and not declared in this scope errors in code that compiled fine until then.

I would be searching my own soul, except for the fact that in the Arduino IDE I can compile, upload and run the same code. If I save a new version of the same files in the Arduino IDE (without making any changes to the code), the new version will compile from within Sublime until I add something to the bottom of the main again. If I take away (or comment out) what I have added, the code compiles. I can work around this by adding new code above the last function, but this doesn't seem normal...

A couple of possibly relevant issues:

I would usually (maybe always?) get an error on the first Build after opening the sketch at step 2 with the compiler failing to find the library. Rebuilding the same file again resolved the error.
I had originally installed the Arduino IDE from the windows app store, but ran into difficulties getting the paths to the application directory in the stino package prefs to function correctly. I uninstalled and reinstalled from the zipped version.

In the attached file, there is a comment line at the end of the main (filenames starts with Lcd__.ino). If I add code before the comment line, everything is fine. If I add it after, I get errors.
