Maybe this has been fixed in later versions, I use Ubuntu 10.10 with all
updates applied. I can only say that I can reproduce it on my system.

Title:
  gedit does not detect replaced open file

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,

  You can reproduce this bug like this: 
  1. make two test files with the same name, but in two different directories and with different content
  2. make sure one of them is older than the other (in terms of creation and modification time, I didn't test which of those matters)
  3. open the newer file in gedit (do NOT close gedit from this point on)
  4. move the newer file to a different location
  5. move the older file to be in the same directory where the newer file was in step 3
  6. double click the older file in a file manager, the gedit window shows the contents of the newer file, i.e., it does not show the usual "File contents changed on disk, reload or cancel?" question. 

  Thank you!
