Hi,

I do the following.
File_A is open with nedit5.5RC1 in one tab. File_B is open in another 
tab. I work on file_A (I add some text, I copy-paste some lines ...)
Let's suppose file_B is a log file which is updated by a simulation run 
while I'm working on file_A.
When I select with the left-button of the mouse some parts of file_A, a 
window appears with : file_B has been modified by another program. Reload ?

My question was the following : is it possible to have this window to 
appear only when the tab that contains file_B is the active one.

In another words, I don't want to be noticed that a file was modified 
while I don't work on that file.

This is the way nedit without tabs was working (nedit 5.4 for instance). 
I was informed that file_B had been modified only when I was pointing 
the mouse in the nedit window that contains file_B.

Regards.

Eric Bouyoux.
