Description karthik CLA 2007-02-15 00:45:44 EST
Build ID:  M20060921-0945

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Navigate Window->Preferences->workspace, Tick "Refresh Automatically. 

2. Open a file in eclipse. The file get opened on an editor. Select that editor. (The editor should be active)

3. Modify the file(which is on active editor) externally.(through opening it by a standard editor, modify and save)

   Note: Modify by adding significantly large statement.(about 25 characters) 
4. The Message Dialog may not appear on one or two external modification, then starts appearing.


More information:
The Message Dialog is as shown below

The file on the file system has been modified. Do you want to load changes
                                 yes     no

Whether you give yes or no, the changes would be loaded on the editor. When there is no significance of the message box, better if it would not appear. I prefer this Message Dialog should not appear when workspace is in "Refresh Automatically" mode.

John, Tod suggested that you might be able to provide some insight into this, could you take a look and provide what feedback you can? Thanks

I suggest moving to platform text.  I think this is expected behaviour, since there is still an inevitable delay when using auto-refresh (possibly several seconds, depending on platform).

As per Juhn's suggestion. Feel free to punt back if this isn't the expected behavior.

Yes, it may be expected behavior. But is it a required behavior? A window from which we are not taking any inputs, why it should appear?
