I've almost given up with Sublime Text. I have a bug with the Linux version on xubuntu which causes the application window to shudder when I scroll. It's something to do with smooth scrolling.

I can't register at their forums as it requires a keyword which you can only get by emailing keyword@sublimetext.com - I've tried three times and each time I've been ignored. I've also tried email the other ST employee, but been ignored also.

Very frustrating when I've paid for a licence.

edit: before anyone gives me shit for doing this it isn't exactly a big secret, it is a pretty poor way of 'securing' the forum. Just stick a captcha on it for gods sake.

Thanks.

I agree - it's the shittest, most user-unfriendly method of securing something against spam I've ever encountered.

There is a setting that can help with the scrolling:

"scroll_speed": 0

I have it in my user preferences (on Debian Sid) and it works well for me.

Unfortunately there is a rise in spammers recently.

Have you emailed sales@sublimetext.com?
