I've never heard of it. One thing you could try is to watch the files using `inotifywait` (in `inotify-tools` package) like:
$ inotifywait -m /path/to/a/file/in/questionAnd see if it reports changes. Another way (since I don't think Geany uses inotify by default but rather just stat's the file), would be something like:
$ watch -n 1 stat -c '%y' /path/to/a/file/in/questionAnd see if the timestamp changes when you do whatever stuff to the files. If it does change, it's expected that Geany would prompt you since the file actually changed (it would be a bug in your filesystem).
I'm on a different machine today, but I'll have to try this out on Friday when I'm using the machine I upgraded on.
Is there any way to switch Geany to using inotify over stat? I'm not sure if that'd help, but worth a try.
It has been tried, but IIRC it seemed to generate even more spurious notifications, so it was turned off.
