Sublime alerts that an unsaved document has changed on disk

#1

Sometimes when I reactivate Sublime, when another program has been active, it pops up a dialog stating that the (unsaved) document has been changed on disk and asks if I want to reload it. If I answer yes it will revert the document back to before I started changing it, obviously.

From my own testing it seems to happen when I have some text selected in another (not Sublime) window and then go back to Sublime (either via ALT+TAB, mouse-click, or taskbar). It can also trigger when I select text in another document in Sublime too and go back to an unsaved document.

Here is a screenshot of the dialog that comes up: http://i.imgur.com/3auUuio.png

If there is an option to disable Sublime ever asking me this question, that would be awesome, but so far I haven’t found any.

I’m running Sublime Text 2 (v 2.0.1 build 2217) under Windows 8.
