Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it has meld 3.14.2.
2. Create two files
$ cd /tmp
$ touch file1 file2
3. Open both files in meld
$ meld file1 file2
4. Change file1
$ gedit file1 # (or kate, pluma, geany, etc.)
Expected results:
* Meld has detected file change and reloaded file1.
Actual behaviour:
* Meld does not detect file change.
Temporary resolution:
* Force Meld to reread both files with "File->Revert" option.
Note:
* Previous versions of Meld have special shortcut for file reread - it was
"View-Refresh" with <Shift+Ctrl+R> shortcut. For now this shortcut is missed.
