Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdevelop

When a file which is open in kdevelop is changed on disk, kdevelop re-loads it 
automatically
without asking the user. This operation is not undo-able and thus can result in 
data loss.

To recreate the bug:
(1) open a file in kdevelop
(2) save it
(3) change it outside of kdevelop (e.g. "echo test > file")
(4) the buffer in kdevelop is updated automatically

Step (2) is important - - if the buffer in kdevelop isn't save then kdevelop 
doesn't reload the file.
(but it doesn't warn you when saving the file that it changed on the disk, 
which is another bug...)

kdevelop version 3.3.4 using kde 3.5.5

** Affects: kdevelop (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
