Description Jaap A. Haitsma 2006-01-03 19:14:31 UTC 
If files get modified on disk gedit should reload them. Probably it is wise to 
present the user firs a dialog asking for confirmation

This has been discussed on Bug #75861.

BTW, gedit 2.13.x now asks you to confirm save if it detects the file has been modified outside gedit. You can also reload the file from disk by using the File/Revert menu entry.

yep, marking as dup.

Basically file monitoring is one of the things that would be nice to have. But in the hard and cold reality are not reliable enough at the moment.

Thanks for testing gedit and for taking the time to report the bug!
