Description of the Issue

This release as introduced a new bug that didn't exist in v8.7.0 and prior:

I open/edit files on network drives (rclone SFTP mount), and now I'm frequently getting popup messages that the underlying file has been modified with the question if I want to reload it. I choose no, and then it says the file has gone missing with the question if I want to keep it open in my editor. I choose yes, and then save it. This process keeps on repeating. It's so annoying. I suspect that it was introduced by one of the network bug fixes listed in the release notes for 8.7.1

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Install 8.7.1
  2. Install and configure a rclone SFTP mount in Windows
  3. Open and save a file on that mount.
  4. Wait for the annoying popup dialog.

Current Behavior

Much annoyance.

Expected Behavior

No annoyance as in 8.7.0 and prior.

Debug Information

I downgraded in order to work so I don't have this anymore.
