For how long has this bug been live? It blows my mind that no one noticed this sooner

Yeah that is interesting.

Wonder if it could be something split between the control that the editor is using vs their key handler. The control may be eating it before the editor code even see the key press.

That would be my 'guess'.

I just tried any edit on my copy of windows and it is not showing any asterisk for any edits. It could be a newer feature that is not done yet? As I am using an older win10 copy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Huh (confirmed), trying to imagine that code path. Edit: Played around a bit, it's odd. For example then click on a different window (release focus) does trigger the update.

It checks for updates when you press the arrow keys, but not delete?

Right. Trying to understand why you would check for an update for a key that doesn't change data and not check for one that does. It also checks when the window loses focus, so works.
