While on the first glance your comment might seem to be an unfair, snarky dismissal, it's actually a pretty accurate summary of what's making me stay with beta versions instead of buying it.
I can edit the theme file, but it's hit-and-miss guessing game that hasn't yielded any results. I also couldn't find any comprehensive docs for the theme file format. I can't look at the editor source code to see whether any solution is possible, because the source is closed. Likewise, there's no way someone could supply their own patch to the author, for the same reason. So anyone who needs this fixed is at the mercy of the author, who has not responded in any way yet.
Don't get me wrong: Sublime Text 2 has been a delight to use, for the most part. Sublime Text 3 seems to be equally great. I would probably shell out $70 if that would mean I would have better chances to have my pet peeves fixed in some foreseeable future, but I can't see any clear indication of that, either.
That is the bug that sent me back to Emacs too! On a high dpi display the tab fonts are too small and attempting to change the font size just results in this clipping behavior.
Here's a bug that's been driving me crazy: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8889
