Bug ID: 388186
Summary: Kate fails to reload files from disk as they
disappear/reappear (and other cases)
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I have this reproducible with 2 git branches, where one branch adds a new file:
- checkout the other branch (which lacks the new file)
- confirm reloading (will show an empty editor window when you select the file)
- checkout the first branch again
- the file is not reloaded, and still shows an empty editor window, even though
the file definitely has content on disk
Using "Reload All" gives you the file back.
I think this also happened when the file was not empty. Then it contained an
old version of the file, different from the on disk version. This is even more
evil, but I can't reproduce it. But I had some embarrassing bugs due to editing
a file during a rebase, and accidentally restoring some old edits (can't tell
if the file was removed and recreated at some point during all the reloading).
This probably happened in slightly older kate versions too (before #387358
happened), but not in even older versions. Sorry, I don't know at which
versions this was, and have no easy way to test.
Kate 17.08.3, Project Plugin enabled.
