Having to reload from disk manually when it should be automatic

Answered

At some point in the last year, a Webstorm update seemed to break how the software monitors commits on my files (after i commit, WS thinks the files still have changes in them, as the file names are still shown in blue instead of white (based on my color theme)), and since then I've been having to select Reload From Disk frequently (and if i don't, i sometimes end up with code in memory not matching code in file and having to resolve the diffs).  Did something change in the settings that i have to update to get it to reload automatically, or is this a bug?

Hi,

May you please provide more information:

1) Where is the project located? Is only single project affected?
2) When you go to directory mappings, are the paths to project(s) explicitly added?
3) When you perform refresh in commit window, or git status in IDE terminal, is everything back to normal?

  1. It's in a subdirectory inside my user Documents (I'm on a Mac)
  2. The paths are in the Directories tab in Settings if that's what you mean
  3. Not sure what you mean by commit window, but when I do git status after doing a commit, no, the files still appear as if they've been updated (file names are colored).  Only selecting Reload from Disk fixes it.
