I can't reproduce this with Octave-4.3.0+ 64bit on Win10.

I made an m-file with Notepad++ in C:\tmp (Octave's current dir), opened that file in Octave's editor aa well, and started editing the file in both Notepad++ and Octave editor.
Both correctly reported that the file had been rewritten by some other program and offered to re-read it.

Can you describe a real scenario in detail with real file(s) that I can try to reproduce?

Observed on 4.0.X as well as 4.2.0 on Windows 10
When other programs write/rewrite files in the Octave's current directory, it crashes and also affects perhaps Windows Explorer (for instance, copy/paste feature in Windows stops working). A system restart solves the problem. Sometimes ending the task (in task manager, as Octave is not responsive) and then launching it again (for multiple times with some delay) solves the problems.
