Description

@estevE11

Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/desktop

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start the app
  2. Open file viewer
  3. Open any file
  4. Ask agent to edit the file in any way

Expected behavior

Files should show their current content and not an outdated version and it should update almost real-time.

Actual behavior

Files do not show change after they have been modified, they show an outdated version and only update after a while.

Impact

Major degradation or frequent failure

Version or commit

0.0.33

Environment

MacOS Tahoe 26.5.2

Logs or stack traces

Screenshots, recordings, or supporting files

No response

Workaround

Waiting or restarting the app. Not nice for every file change.

    Hi @estevE11 could you include a screen recording of the issue? I tried the same and performance is great on my side even over t3 connect

    Hope this helps!

    Edit: I edited the file with VIM just before recording and wrote "context" instead of "content" and not even that got cought. Time it takes for it to update seems random.
