I cannot create a working snippet in ST3 on Windows 8.1. tabTrigger just doesn't print anything.

For instance, I want to create a snippet @mixin for .scss files. Here is how I create it.

Tools > New Snippet...

A new untitled file is opened that contains snippet's sample. I change it to my snippet:

<snippet>
    <content><![CDATA[
@mixin ${1:mixin-name}(${2:var}) {
    ${3:...code...}
}
]]></content>
    <!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
    <tabTrigger>mix</tabTrigger>
    <!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
    <scope>text.scss</scope>
</snippet>

Then I type Ctrl+S and it opens a dialog window for saving the snippet. In my case it is in:

C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User

I save it as mixin-scss.sublime-snippet. Then I go to .scss file type mix and tap Tab but nothing happens. Even if I reload ST3 it doesn't work. How to create a snippet on Windows 8.1? What do I do wrong?

Change your scope to source.scss instead of text.scss
