The "file changed on disk" alert does not show up unless you switch tab

[Teo]

Open a file in gedit
swicth to some other program, and modify the file that is open in Gedit
switch back to gedit

Expected: the "file changed on disk" alert should show up, and prompt you whether to reload the file or keep editing

Observed: that doesn't happen until you switch to another tab in gedit and switch back to the tab where that file is open. If you don't have several tabs open, you will NEVER be warned that the file has been changed!!!!

This is HUGE.

When using Ubuntu 22.04, gedit 41.0-3 I changed a file using
another text editor. When switching back to gedit I saw a
prompt indicating that the text file had changed. There was
no need to switch to another gedit tab and back again. Test
conducted successfully several times.

Closing as "Fixed Released" as this might have been an issue
with gedit some eight years ago when Unity was the desktop
environment.
