Summary: cannot reopen file easily

Initial Comment:
It is not possible to reopen a file in the editor if it is 
changed from outside. You will have to close the editor 
window and open the file again. Just open the file
in the editor will leave the contents unchanged.

Hm, *I* would find it extremely useful. The other editor I
use a lot has several features relating to this issue, and I
*depend* on them.

This is an RFE which I believe would find limited use.

Calling an Open dialog on a file which is already open
merely wakes up the associated window.  Doing what
this RFE asks would require tracking the modification
times of open files and comparing upon re-open.
