Parts of Sublime Text "freeze up" under certain circumstances #4734

Open rebb opened 3 years ago

rebb commented 3 years ago

Description

Sublime Text goes into a kind of "frozen" mode, where many actions are no longer possible, like editing the text, switching file tabs etc. However things like minimizing or opening the main menu by clicking its icon still work.

I can reliably make this happen by starting a DosBox game from the GoG Launcher, which goes fullscreen. After quitting the game i find Sublime Text in the frozen state.

I'm unsure if other applications which grab fullscreen also trigger this.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Sublime Text in safe mode
  2. Launch a fullscreen DosBox game ( in this case, it was Ultima Underworld )
  3. Quit game
  4. Find Sublime Text "frozen"

Expected behavior

Sublime Text should still work as usual.

Actual behavior

Sublime Text is now "frozen".

Looks like you are seeing https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/4723 as well ?

Hm, i don't think this is quite the same, but it might be ?

I can switch away from Sublime Text for longer than 5 minutes, and go back to it just fine. Although it does sometimes enter the "frozen" mode, usually after a much longer time though, and possibly after other fullscreen-switches, but i have not paid attention to that until today when i could reproduce the problem quickly.

I never get to a full "Not responding" state though, like that issue mentions. I can switch back to it, and use it's menu-bar, minimize etc. Just the text area, file tabs etc. are unresponsive.

Still happens in the current version btw. Even though less frequently it seems ?
