"Another application has updated" message when window is deactivated

[chrullrich]

WinMerge shows the "another application has updated" message in two situations:

1. When the window is activated (if the update happened while it was inactive)
2. When the window is deactivated (as long as the file has not been reloaded)

I think it should not show the message in the second case because that interferes with the way I sometimes use it: Compare two files, then edit one of them with a separate editor. As soon as I save the file I'm editing, I cannot switch back to WinMerge because after that I cannot get rid of the message anymore; it reappears when I return to the editor. Clicking "no" in it will of course activate the window, at which point I'm right back where I was.

There is an option "auto-reload modified files", and the help file mentions this message, so I believe this option is meant to control when the message appears. It is currently set to "only on window activated" and in this situation I would not expect this to happen when the window is deactivated.

Saving "no" as the answer to the message is a persistent global setting and I don't want that either.
