No. I didn't think of the time factor before it was mentioned above.

Which means my instructions to reproduce were a bit off. Whenever I had reproduced, it was the open ./file1 that was always more recent because that's the one I was frequently saving while editing.

not sure if it matters now but I'll edit the instructions

>How are you telling Geany to open the file? If you want to get on-disk contents just reload.

Doh! was trying with "open"... reload works.
