No, it does reload, if the file is already there. That is the sole purpose of
the reload functionality. With reload, we are able to quickly see for example,
if saving to some Microsoft format caused unwanted changes. It is a shortcut
for closing and reopening a file.

Us folks are fellow users trying to figure out a way to reproduce the problem,
so developers can step in eventually. We suffer from the same lack of time as
yourself, so it is sort of a balancing act.

I tried adding one comment, saving and reloading, but the comment did not
vanish.
