[Github-comments] [geany/geany] in some cases, Geany doesn't detect file has been overwritten (#2133)

[Andy Alt]

in some cases, Geany doesn't detect file has been overwritten. If a file with the same name is (intentionally) copied from a different directory, Geany doesn't detect the file has changed.

This does not reproduce when the file is copied using `cp`. I've only tested with the 2 file managers listed below.

* To reproduce

Reproduces every time using Thunar 1.8.4 and PCMan 1.3.1

echo file1 > ./file1
mkdir tempdir
echo file2 > tempdir/file1

Open ./file1 in Geany
Use Thunar or PCMan to copy tempdir/file1 to ./file1
Switch back to Geany (note there will be no reload option).

```
