Description Rafael Chaves

In bug 70372, the ProjectPreferences class was changed to recognize changes to a
preferences file and ensure its in-memory model was in sync with the one on disk.

That fix has a problem in that we end up reloading preferences even when
Preferences.flush is called (which calls IFile.setContents, firing a resource
change event). Then we end up reloading the state what we just wrote.

We could use the same workaround used by Project.updateDescription (use a flag
that tells us whether we are in the context of saving the file, and just don't
do anything in that case).
