example project with multiple files

I can produce this bug even without auto-compilation of the livew preview in
the following way:

1. Enable Live Preview
2. Create a Project with a main file that includes two other files, i.e.
main.tex which call   \input{first.tex} \input{second.tex}
3. Add all these files to a project
4. Move to first.tex, edit it and save, which will trigger a recompilation
5. Before the recompilation finishes, switch to the tab of second.tex

The error will be repeated after every keypress, making any further work
impossible. The only solution is to save again to trigger a recompilation and
stay absolutely still until it finishes (which can take quite a while for large
documents).

The recompilation should use a copy of the files, and ignore any changes that
has happened since it started, or in the worst case, abort silently and keep
the existing preview. Blocking the interface with a modal window is extremely
annoying.

With multiple files it is worst, because it obliges one to either:
1. Save the current file before moving to another file, and wait until
compilation is over to switch
2. Never save, until one wants to actually regenerate the document, at that
point reopen every file, save, wait, repeat

p.s. While creating a test project to attach to this bug, I found that having
more than one project open make the situation even worst, where editing one
project triggers the modal windows until all the projects have recompiled.
