- It's opened by 2 different programs both of which think it's their turn to write to the file
- You don't have permissions to write to that location
- The file is set to read-only (perhaps if you downloaded it) from somewhere
One person on the thread you linked to mentioned
fix: in file explorer folder window, hide the preview pane. This seems to unblock the process, and S2 can save just fine.
If it's a real bug in Sublime Text then Sublime Text Support would be the best place to get help from.
