Sublime Text 4, when creating or modifying a file in any language when trying to save it deletes its content

  • 772

Hi, I have had some problems with sublime text 4, since its version 4121 it presents the following when creating a new PHP or HTML file, or when modifying an existing file and trying to save it completely deletes all its content.

To correct this problem I have had to delete the installation that I have of it without leaving anything of the registry of it in Ubuntu 20.04.

It works fine for me for a while, but then suddenly it starts doing the same thing and I can't work.

Do you have any idea why it does this, and how I could correct it and thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    In case of problems of this type with the Sublime text editor, I suggest performing the following steps for debugging (the order is at will):

    • Always have Sublime updated to the latest version , in case, in the first instance, the problem between versions had been corrected.

    • Disable suspicious packages using Control-Shift-P, then type disable, then select Package Control: Disable Packageand when a list of packages appears select the suspicious one. And discard them as the tests are carried out.

    • Check the Sublime console to see everything it does and find possible related errors, because with this you can identify if it is also a package and deactivate it as explained in the previous point. To see the console click on in the top menu.View | Show console

    As the OP himself (Original Poster) has declared, in his case the problem was caused by the PHPTools package , which he has deactivated, solving his specific problem.
