--- Comment #10 from php4...@gmail.com --- > The view needs focus to be able to show the externally modified message. > Switching tabs does that, so that's why you get it. I'm not sure I understand what you mean, perhaps because I'm not sure what "the view" is exactly. Note that when I give focus to kate, the currently focused tab is the one where the modified file is, so I expect it to show the warning. The workaround is to switch to another tab *and then back* to the one that should have shown the warning in the first place. > Can you try enabling this setting under "behavior" > Show dialog for externally modified files > And see if it resolves the issue? To know whether or not it fixes the issue I would need to use it in this mode for a while, as the issue is random and doesn't reproduce always. But this option is completely unusable to me, because the effect is that the separate dialog will *immedietely* show up when the file is modified, and it *steals focus* from whatever I'm using even if Kate is not focused at the moment. That is: - open a few file in kate - give focus to something else - something else (whether it's related to what I'm doing outside of kate or it's some third unrelated process) modifies a file that is open in kate => KABOOM, kate's separate dialog with the warning (and Kate's main window itself behind it) pops up and steals focus from whatever I'm doing. I don't know if someone can find that behavior useful, I certainly don't and will never use it (actually I think that's a separate bug or design flaw but I wouldn't want it even if it worked properly). The only thing I care about is that the issue is fixed for the case where the "separate dialog" option is not enabled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
