Description Aleksey Danilov 2012-02-11 13:00:17 UTC

OS:                Linux

There are cases when Dolphin ceases to automatically react on file system changes (file creation/removal) caused by other programs.

At least one exact way of reproducing the bug for me:
- start Dolphin and go into a directory with some project's sources;
- open separate Konsole instance via Dolphin;
- run make from opened Konsole (ensure it will create some files);
- during the compilation, enter a subdirectory where make should create object files;
- when make has finished, try removing any obtained file using rm via Dolphin's terminal panel.

Upon performing the last action, I see no visual feedback from Dolphin unless I manually order it to reload the directory contents. The issue seem to persist until I restart Dolphin.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
See above.

Actual Results:  
No automatic update on the file system changes.

Expected Results:  
Usual automatic synchronization.
