View unsaved document

[awqk]

Opening a view to an unsaved document doesn't show latest changes, see also #1835.

Since the viewer isn't intended as a preview, it does not automatically update with the editor if displaying the same document. However, if you do look at the same document, it is assumed you are doing this so you can see the difference between what you're editing and what it was before. If you press Ctrl+R in the editor, it will update.

This is intentional, and not a bug or missing feature.

On second thought, maybe I misunderstood this request? If so, please clarify and I'll reopen if still relevant.

I am thinking this might be a bit of hit-and-miss. When opening, you don't know if auto-save has already overwritten the earlier version you may want to view, therefore, nw should display the latest version. Once the view panel is open, it shouldn't update automatically, as you said.

I reopened this as requested. I'll add a check that saves the editor before opening the same document in the viewer, but only in this specific case.
