[Bug 1801911] [NEW] No notification (or automatic reload) when file changed on disk

[André Nichterlein]

Public bug reported:

The following unwanted behaviour in kile 3 (in ubuntu 18.04) was apparently resolved by patching okular:
(see also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400190)

"When changing a file on disk, kile behaves oddly (no notification,
sometimes a reload)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a document in kile and in kate (or other text editor)
2. Change something in kate and save (change file on disk)
3. Go to kile 
4. Change something in kate and save
5. Go to kile
6. Go to step 4

OBSERVED RESULT
In step 3, Kile reloaded the file and the changes made in kate are displayed.
When 
In step 5, nothing happened (also after repeating steps 4 and 5 a couple of times.)

EXPECTED RESULT
Changes in files should always be notified"


The bugfix suggested in the KDE bugtracker works for me and involves some change in okular. 
Robert Bredereck created a backport of the upstream patch for the current okular version in ubuntu lts (18.04):

Can this backport be included in ubuntu lts (18.04)?
