Closing Sublime Text does not preserve open files

[amollad]

Description of the bug

This I am finding in Build 4121. I've many files opened in Sublime Text and if I close Sublime Text using File -> Exit and the restart Sublime Text - I see all my open files again. However, if I close Sublime Text using Windows "x" close button on top right of the window and then open Sublime Text - it all starts from fresh and I need to add folders again.

I do not recall seeing this behavior in older builds

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Sublime Text
2. File -> Open Folder
3. Close Sublime Text using "x" button on top right of the window
4. Open Sublime Text - the folder opened in [2] is no more available and we need to add again

Expected behavior

After [4] above, we should see the folder(s) added in [2] above

Actual behavior

All open folders are lost on exit using windows "x" button on top right

Sublime Text build number

4121

Do you have another window open, perhaps on another desktop? A hot exit is only done when the application exits, be it from File > Exit or by closing the last open window. This has always been the case.

Thanks. Please refer to this video for what I'm trying to explain:

That's definitely not expected behavior. After exiting ST could you upload what's in the session file? It's located here: %APPDATA%\Sublime Text\Local\Session.sublime_session or %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Local\Session.sublime_session.

This file is generated after ST is exited using windows "x" button and (and starting ST again does not open last opened folders/files)

Thanks. Looks like it's only saving the open folder, but not the unsaved file. Can you share the settings you're using?

Is there a way I can easily share settings using say XML or txt files?

Simply open settings from Preferences > Settings and copy the json from the right hand side.

That all looks expected. It seems to be the only possible cause would be ST crashing before exiting. You can confirm this by waiting more than 30s before exiting ST, after which the opened files should be preserved from the automatic session saving.
