Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I am using the remove edit option, that means I'm opening files with /<username>@server:<file path> syntax. emcas is constantly 
reporting that the file has changed ont he disk and asking me if I really want to change it. But it has not changed on the remote server -- except
when I save the file.

Thanks,

cancel_print_jobs.sh changed on disk; really edit the buffer? (y, n, r or C-h) 
File on disk now will become a backup file if you save these changes.
