[Bug 1311833] [NEW] "File was changed outside qtcreator" appears in CMake project, prevents saving

 

Public bug reported:

When working on CMake-based project at random times I'm getting the following bug:
1) Open file from the project tree.
2) Edit file
3) Compile
4) Close file
5) Reopen the same file - a message on top appears "File was changed outside qtcreator". Previous edits are not saved!

This bug appears randomly - I can't see any logic. No external programs
are working with this file. No dead instances of qtcreator are in
memory.

When this happen I have to delete all build files and
CMakeLists.txt.user file and re-create the project. Otherwise I can get
rid of this bug and can't edit any files - all edits will be lost!

This bug is stopping the workflow and is critical. The program is
actually unusable!
