Conversion of buffers to read only.

[lambertia]

Hi.

I can't point to when it exactly happens, but during compilation/build some of the open buffers are converted to read only and have to be manually converted back to RW. I've never seen this behaviour in 11.0. Maybe SE is re-reading the file for some reason whilst the compiler has it open and then it marks it as RO?

The Windows version, all files are local.

Cheers,

You can try to figure out if it's really caused by a 'reload'.
Uncheck 'Suppress reload prompt' 'Tools->Options->File Options -> Load tab: Auto reload section'.

Good idea I've done that. The "auto read only" thing looks fishy. Its very possible that the compiler changes the file to read only during compilation to prevent alteration of the file. I'll try that one next, its more likely the culprit. These options have not changed since v11 (nor have my settings for them). Maybe its just more sensitive now.

Ok.

The problem still occurs with the suppress prompt and auto read only unchecked. Of course suppress prompt would not change the behaviour, just let me know what's going on. With auto read only unchecked i would not expect to see the problem.

... strange ...
You could try to check: 'Tools->Options->File Options -> Load tab: File locking' to avoid that another instance changes your opened buffers.
