Autosave runs too quickly

Autosave runs so quickly since i've updated pycharm that it makes using Black with a File Watcher unusable. eg. If you pause for a second while typing it will delete any trailing spaces.

Is there a way to slow down the autosave function? It never used to be this obtrusive!

Hi, the autosave interval is configured in [Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings]

Let me know if those settings have no visible effect for any reason (then the issue is probably in something else).

Hi Andrey, thanks for the response. I tried setting "Save files if the IDE is idle for 15 seconds", but it still saves and runs the file watcher within a second of any change that I make to the file.

Ok, nothing suspicious in the log it seems, and you don't use any other custom plugins.

Could you please provide:

- A screenshot of your autosave settings (Does the issue reproduce if you disable all the conditions except the 15 sec delay?)

- A screenshot of your file watcher settings, including the Advanced options (Does it help to disable "Auto-save" edited files to trigger the watcher" here?)

Disabling "Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher"  has fixed it, thank you!
