In trying to workaround #5701, I discovered that Sublime may remove the value of the "project": key in a project's *.sublime-workspace file. As a result, from the user's perspective, opening the project will not display the associated project folders in the side bar. Additionally, "Project>Edit Project" is greyed out, because there is no longer an association to the project file.
Steps to reproduce
Open Sublime Text. Ensure the setting "hot_exit" is enabled.
Open a project, MyProject.
Close Sublime Text.
Open Sublime Text with subl --command close_project
Observe that the project's open folders disappear, but the open files of the project workspace remain.
Re-opening the project by any method does not return its open folders.
Expected behavior
The project is closed, but may be re-opened later without issue.
Actual behavior
The project cannot be opened.
Sublime Text build number

Operating system & version
Windows 10
(Linux) Desktop environment and/or window manager
No response
Additional information
To work around, either delete MyProject.sublime-workspace for a fresh workspace or:
With "hot_exit" enabled, the saved state from "hot_exit" will overwrite the *.sublime-workspace file of any open project, so make sure you close the project before modifying its *.sublime-workspace file.
Using a different editor, open MyProject.sublime-workspace and manually replace "project": "" with "project": "MyProject.sublime-project".
