Browser sync constant refresh

[Aftabnack]

File-watching with Browser-Sync is showing "file-changed" on a file which doesn't have any changes. It happens when I open it in Sublime Text and Atom editor. Any file(that is being watched) opened with either of the above two editors triggers an infinite message of "file-changed" on the console.

Please shed some light on this.

Edit: This is not the case when I use Notepad++, it works fine for notepad++

I have similar problem. I am using browser-sync with Grunt on Windows 8.1. It keeps refreshing the page very often. If I do refresh with cache clearing like ctrl + F5 it reloads and then indicates that some files have been changes. My colleague is runing the same project on Windows 10 and it works fine for him.

@Aftabnack , @wromanek did either of you learn anything about this? I'm seeing the same thing with Atom on Windows 8.1.

Everything gets refreshed as I type each character which results in a TON of refreshes.

Same behavior on MacOS Sierra with Atom editor.

+1 when saving .js files only in Sublime.

Same issue using PhpStorm on windows 7, anyone have found a solution for this ?

Same problem with IntelliJ2017 on OSX Sierra - I'm guessing its not a problem with some tools or we would see a lot more traffic here.

Phpstorm here, constant refresh

I have moved on from using BrowserSync to using webpack, no more updates from me on this!
