Description Vladimir Kvashin 2013-02-19 17:11:59 UTC

Copy-pasted from Studio bug #16362028

Steps to reproduce:
- run IDE
- add remote host
- open any remote source file in the editor
- make some changes in the remote file outside IDE, it's important not switch
focus from the IDE window (make changes using built remote terminal in IDE or
from another machine)
Result: The source file in the editor is not updated. If a user switch focus
from IDE then put it back then the file will probably be updated after some
pretty long time (it depends on the file path and could take from seconds to
hours).

I've hust pushed a workaround into cnd-main
http://hg.netbeans.org/cnd-main/rev/ce24ce72c7a3

With additional option 
-J-Dcnd.remote.refresh.plain.file=true 
this bug does not take place.

Switching this option ON by default may cause noticeable slowdown on slow connections, that's why it's OFF by default.

Comment 4 Miloslav Metelka 2013-08-10 21:18:57 UTC

I agree with NbEditorUI patch integration.
Its main purpose is to avoid extra updates for frequent focus switches from the IDE and back in environments with very slow file updates? i.e. the objectsToRefresh.add(fo) would return false in these cases, right?
