Describe the bug I get a popup that says "External Changes. File has been modified." once every few minutes. I don't believe the file is actually being modified.

I just updated to the latest drawio version. This didn't happen until I updated.

To Reproduce not sure

Expected behavior No popup when file is not modified

Screenshots See above

draw.io version (In the Help->About menu of the draw.io editor):

15.8.7

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.6

Updated to 17.4.2 and the issue has gotten worse. After clicking Synchronze in the initial popup, a second one appears: If I click Merge, after saving, drawio switches to the top-left corner of the first tab in the diagram file. This is very disorienting and annoying since I usually work with many tabs.

@JesseAldridge Does it always happen with that one diagram, or all? Could we see that diagram ([email protected]) ?

[JesseAldridge]

I think it only happens with large files (i.e. several large images). I sent a video and a sample diagram to the support email.

We're hoping switching off compression might well with this.

I actually can't remember the last time I saw that popup. I think this bug was somehow fixed long ago.
