Can confirm it stopped working (causing me to commit trailing spaces -.-).
Sublime text version 3.0 Build 3143, macOS version 10.12.6.
Confirmed.
I tried copy-pasting all the settings from Default configuration file into the user settings file, and the only line that changes with each plugin activation is the trailing_spaces_highlight_color
. Like, you might have changed both trailing_spaces_highlight_color
and trailing_spaces_include_empty_lines
values in the user settings file, and if you activate the plugin (super+alt+x
in my case), the user settings file will reload, and trailing_spaces_highlight_color
is the only value that will be left empty, other values will be left untouched.
Confirmed. on macOS, dev channel build 3148.
Comfirmed, on Windows 10, build 3143. I checked console, it said the setting file was not found. Can that be the reason?

I have the same issue.trailing_spaces_highlight_color
configuration parameter always reset to "" (empty string).
I found that plugin reads empty string as default value from settings in plugin_loaded()
function. So you can fix this issue just adding these lines before DEFAULT_COLOR_SCOPE_NAME
declaration:
if current_highlighting_scope == '':
current_highlighting_scope = "invalid"
I will try to find out the reason of this later. Maybe sublime.load_settings()
method was changed in last Sublime build.
Windows 10, build 3143.
Clicking on Edit > Trailing Spaces > Highlight Regions has no effect. A message appears in the bottom bar saying "Highlighting of Trailing Spaces is disabled!"
Clicking the menu selection again has the same effect.
Nothing shows up in the console other than "reloading settings Packages/User/trailing_spaces.sublime-settings" when I click it.
See issue #116. This fixes the problem, at least temporarily. Version 3.0 Build 3143.
I had this problem all of a sudden, can't remember when it started, but I basically just had to enter a value and restart. See : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16916060#answer-23051790
Sublime Text 3 Build 3143 default settings
From Stack Overflow
It's a known bug - see their Issues page on GitHub.
I was able to get it working by starting Sublime with a non-blank string value for the setting trailing_spaces_highlight_color
Open Preferences > Package Settings > Trailing Spaces > Settings - User Replace: "trailing_spaces_highlight_color": "" With: "trailing_spaces_highlight_color": "invalid" Restart Sublime. Edit > Trailing Spaces > Highlight Regions should work as expected now.
If you restart Sublime, "trailing_spaces_highlight_color" must not be a blank string, otherwise it will stop working again. Repeat the steps above to fix.
As long as Sublime is started with a non-blank string value for trailing_spaces_highlight_color, the toggle highlight regions works.
It looks like the plugin is caching the value in the setting file when Sublime loads. If you make changes to the settings file and toggle highlighting, the original value is restored. Which is why you need to restart Sublime for setting changes to take effect.
@ecspresso is right. Just tried now (set value "invalid" and restart right after) and it works!
Although I have no time atm to see why that happens, fix the code and make a PR :(
Based on #125, for more recent Sublime Text 3 builds the "region.redish" might be a more fitting value than "invalid" for some color schemes.
Update: to me the problem keeps reappearing regularly, even after fixing the settings.
The bug lays in persisting the setting in the code, assuming that the value is the one desired by the user, but looks like the settings are not loaded properly in some situations, so the plugin will find an empty string and re-persist that (why? 🤷♂️).
I think there should be a specific setting value that should be intended to disable trailing spaces.
Using an empty string in trailing_spaces_highlight_color
, interpreted as "disable" setting, leads to this weird behaviour.
If not wanting to use a specific value then the logic in the code should be fixed.
And I would add a specific/less-shady-setting to explicitly disable trailing space.
Although I am not sure what else the plugin still does when the trailing-spaces visualization is not enabled.

After updating Sublime, the plugin's highlighting feature no longer work.
