[OSX] A new Sublime instance window is opened each time opening script when using "$(File)":$(Line) args

MacOS

-

To reproduce:
1. Create a new project, create a script in it
2. Set Sublime text as external editor
3. Add "$(File)":$(Line) to external script editor args field
4. Try to open the same script multiple times(without closing previously opened window)

Expected: only one instance of Sublime text will be opened
Actual: each time opening script, new window is opened

Reproduced: 5.6.5p1, 2017.1.3f1, 2017.2.1p3, 2017.3.1p1, 2018.1.0b8, 2018.2.0a1

Reproduced using Sublime Text 2 and Sublime Text 3

Note: if "$(File)":$(Line) are not used, script editor works as expected

    Solution is ignore Unity and make your own .app bundle which wraps the "subl" CLI. See the solution here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/sublime-as-external-editor-on-os-x-always-opens-a-new-window.511589/

    Is there a reason for this being a Won't Fix? Is this a bug with Sublime?
