When an opened file is changed in the background by another program, this is normally not reported immediately, but checked by default every 30 seconds (see Preferences → Files)
This behavoir is annoying as it is possible, at least under Linux, to update the file at once when it is changed GEdit does so, for example I don’t know, but guess, that this is possible even under Windows I ask you to add this feature (if necessary only for Linux) and update the configuration dialog accordingly --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/847
