Gedit :: file changed on disk

Applications
1

when I have a file open with gedit that resides on an smb share I constantly get a notice that “The file xy changed on disk” and I should reload the file. In fact the file was not changed (at least not the content, maybe some meta data).
Do you have any ideas how to solve that?
btw: I use Fedora 34 with Gnome 40

From a quick scan through the source code, I think Gedit seems to be using GtkSourceFile's API for local files only. It doesn’t seem to check for remote files.

Maybe it is not about gvfs mount, but about cifs mount. How is that mounted? The check is based on the modification time. Can you please verify that the modification time was changed? Ideally using the gio info --attributes "time::*" [FILE] command…

the modification time does not seem to be changed, I checked the gio info before opening the file and then as soon as the error was shown in gedit, the output was exactly the same
