I am having the same problem. I think the editor and the game are creating different folders for installation, because if you go into common you will see that there is a folder called "sbox" next to the folder used by the game, for example "sbox 2129379". I came here to report this as well, but I haven’t tested doing anything yet. Maybe moving the editor files there could solve it.
I hope they take the same care for people who have multiple hard drives, because I have several, and sometimes applications have issues with that. I don’t have space on the C: drive to install anything. Well, if it’s not the installation location, you can ignore my drives haha. But I saw that more people are having this problem, and I just wanted to help by giving more information.
