Sublime Text development is not halted. What has given you the idea that it halted more than a year ago?

What's the bug?

(As I wrote in another comment) The typical information channels (blog, twitter, development builds page) don't say anything.

I take the point that one can gather from the forum, the fact that there is ongoing development, but I think it's reasonable to be at least perplexed when a company is not active on the standard information channels, while at the same time expanding the team on a different product.

Files navigation panel goes out of whack, while switching between the editor and it with the keyboard; any keyboard-only user will experience it (although ST can't be used keyboard only, due to the inability to open a popup in the file panel via keyboard).

Somebody opened a bug open a long time ago, and somebody else wrote a snippet (a plugin, I suppose) to use as workaround.

There hasn't been a stable build since October. The user is complaining about the Sublime development cycle, which is unlike most companies today. Sublime frequently goes 6-12 months without an update (Sublime Merge was a few days from 1 year between updates), but there is a lot of development happening in the background and test builds do exist.

The Sublime team seems to prefers 1 big and stable update vs 12 smaller and possibly less stable updates. It has its advantages and disadvantages.

Regardless, Merge is still the best Git GUI out there and this update just made it better. And Text is my favorite simple text editor out there (though I do prefer using a full IDE for actual development)
