Sublime Text 3: Preferences menu greyed

I am using Sublime Text 3 on my Mac (10.13.2)

The Preferences menu is always greyed and not usable. (even on restart) Any idea to solve that?

Thanks

Paul

A user has figured out a reliable way to reproduce this (see Kronuz' comment from 6/19/18 on the issue tracker).

It seems to be caused by packages containing a large amount of files. There might be other causes as well, but hopefully with at least one reliable way to repro, the devs will come up with a fix.

There have been some suggestions that third-party Mac apps may be causing issues. So you may try restarting Sublime Text – I guess you have already done that before looking for a solution, try to do that again after each of the following steps:

  • Restarting menu bar Bartender or SecondBar if present
  • Reinstalling latest installed ST packages
  • Delete(https://stackoverflow.com/a/48398420/880188) Package Control.last-run, i.e. via Terminal: rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User/Package\ Control.last-run as mentioned in the other Answer
  • Restarting the computer

On macOS, I deleted the file Package Control.last-run in /Users/cookedapple/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User and restarted Sublime Text 3. The problem was resolved.
