Sublime Text returning nul control character

Question

This seems to happen sporadically but every so often, a nul control character will appear in my Sublime Text editor. The file types are not limited - so far it has appeared in .scss, .html, .php and .js files. Its particularly annoying when editing .scss files as it returns string errors in the command line when running a sass --watch and so breaks the SASS to CSS compiling. It is not always obvious, the watch error will be returned and i must close my source file and reopen to see the control character.

Any help diagnosing this annoying issue is much appreciated.

You've tagged both Sublime Text 2 *and* 3. Does this happen on both versions? — Novocaine, Sep 03 '14 at 12:27

With regex enabled, find and replace \x00 with nothing. All NUL characters are gone..
