When a .wasm file is opened with the extension you can see a text representation of the binary.
If the file changes, the changes are not reflected on the opened view automatically.
Furthermore, if the file is then opened again while still open in the editor, then the changes still do not show up and you still see the outdated translation of the textual representation.
Currently, it seems that the way to refresh the contents is to always explicitly close the file and then open it again.
It would be great and less confusing if opening a file that is already open would not keep showing the old file. Or would at least open in a separate new view instead of merging with the previous one.
You can test this by creating a wasm binary, opening it with the extension, creating a new wasm binary in place of the old one with different contents, opening the new binary. The new contents are not shown.
The way I am opening files is by double-clicking on them on the desktop on Ubuntu.
