Refresh window on files change

[prbxr]

When using preact watch of preact-cli 3.0.4, ubuntu, chrome latest All the time I have used preact-cli in the past half year, on file change, the window will refresh only when the browser gets into view. It happens most of the time. I am used to different flow - to save the file in the editor and by the time I switch to the browser, it will be refreshed because it started to refresh on file save. Is it some webpack flag ? Apparently it senses browser visibility event and only on this event triggers refresh.

was unsure if it happens, but it happens indeed all the time

@prbxr is your Chrome running in a different virtual desktop or workspace? Chrome throttles backgrounded tabs, which includes things requestAnimationFrame and timers - perhaps the in-browser portion of Webpack is using a timer to defer HMR updates, and that timer is being throttled. There are some options for tab throttling in chrome://flags that may be worth checking.

It seems like on my desktop ubuntu it is fine. While on my other laptop ubuntu it does the above. Will check it farther
