Re: The remote file has been changed...

Thanks for your report. Though I cannot reproduce the problem.
Please start WinSCP with /applog=C:\some\path\app.log command line parameter, enable also session logging, reproduce the problem, and post both app and session logs.

The remote file has been changed...

Using WinSCP 6.5.5 with "Explorer" interface on Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2.

I have two remote sessions open, and I'm using NP++ to edit a text file from HostB. If WinSCP has the tab from HostA selected and I save a change to the file on HostB, I get the following message:
---------------------------
Confirm
---------------------------
The remote file has been changed while you were editing it. Do you want to overwrite it anyway?
---------------------------
OK Cancel Help
---------------------------

This happens every time. If the tab for HostB is selected, there's no message when I save the file. Not a serious issue that I can see, but it is bothersome.

This is a typical scenario for me (editing a file on one remote host while I'm looking at other remote hosts), so I have to say that it started happening with v6.5.5.

Thanks.
