Can't open in new tab in Sublime Text 3. Is it a bug?

Question

Today my Sublime 3083 became corrupted! I don't know why but every time I click on a file it opens on the same tab! I cannot open two tabs at the same time. Fist file opens in a new tab and another opens in the previous tab and so on!

I did not installed any plugins recently. I just selected "Close Other Tabs" on menu.

What can I do?

Thanks

You must open the file using double click. If you open it using single click then you're using a feature called file preview, and that file will be closed when you preview other file unless the file has changes.

In addition, in the settings file you can set the preview_on_click option to false to disable the preview option; if you do that a click on the file won't do nothing, and a double click will still open the file in a new tab. As far as I know there's no option to open the file with a single click, only you can 'preview' the file (it's similar to open but the file get closed if you preview another file). Example setting:

{
    "preview_on_click": false
}
