Bug#23908: KDevelop doesn't notice file updates by other applications

[djarvie at lineone.net]

Package: kdevelop
Version: KDE 2.1.1 
Severity: normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: SuSE 7.0 i386 RPMs

KDevelop 1.4.1 often fails to detect when a file which it has open for editing is updated by another application. As a result, it would be very easy to accidentally overwrite changes made by the other application.

Sometimes switching to another file in KDevelop and then back to the first (changed) one will trigger KDevelop to notice the update. But other times, it is not easy to make it notice. It is even possible to have an outdated version displayed while it compiles the changed file, and when you click on a compile error, it takes you to the line in the unaltered version of the file instead of the version which the compiler actually compiled!
