I’d noticed that in the past and found it strange. Are there any
strong reasons for keeping the current behaviour vs. only marking
the buffer as modified when re-filling actually results in a
change? Marking the buffer as modified when there was no visual
change seems like a ‘leaky abstraction’.
Though thinking about the wording (“modified”) more precisely, I
suppose the behaviour does technically make sense, but it still
feels somewhat strange / counter-intuitive. I think it would be
nice to have a “difference” indicator for when an action results
in an actual difference compared to before.
Just my 2¢.
