Public bug reported:
If you have a document open in Kate, and edit that document using a
third-party application on another virtual desktop, the "Documents
Modified on Disk" dialog cannot be found. I think the dialog is being
created somewhere far off-screen.
# Steps to reproduce
1) Create a text file, e.g. touch foo.txt
2) Launch Kate and open the file
3) Switch to another virtual desktop and edit the file with another program and
change the contents, e.g. nano foo.txt, and save the file
4) Switch back to the virtual desktop with Kate, and focus on it if necessary
5) Observe that the document has a red warning icon to indicate that it has
been changed
6) Observe the lack of a visible dialog. Kate also appears to be unresponsive
to keyboard or mouse input, but in reality the missing dialog has focus.
7) Press 'enter' to reload the document (that's the default selection on the
missing dialog
# What is expected
When you save the file with the other program, the dialog should appear
# Notes
This is only a problem when Kate is on a different virtual desktop when
the file is changed. If you use a terminal window on the same virtual
desktop, all is well.
