Woah. I’ve been meaning to check out zed but that’s a huge problem. I’ve fixed this problem before in rust, there’s just a library you can use to update file trees with a combination of batching fs notifications and a periodic rescan. Wtf guys! Maybe I’ll submit a PR… oh wait! I mean delta.

Ah, yeah, I get this issue too but I've been so conditioned to close and reopen files that I've stopped thinking it was an issue. Appreciate the link.

Did you open a new issue?
No, but I posted on the existing one. Sounds worth trying.
edit: Done

What is that library name? Sounds helpful.
