I just tried to produce a minimal example, but couldn't reproduce the
bug. I tried the following:
 1) Create a new document in Tw containing simply "1"
 2) Open the file in another editor
 3) replace "1" by "2" and save
 4) Tw notices the new content and updates its display accordingly (even
in the background)
 5) Repeat from step 3, incrementing the counter as you go
I checked up to a counter value of 30, but Tw always noticed the change.
But then again, I haven't noticed the bug at all on my system (Ubuntu
9.04). Can others confirm this behavior?
