I managed to fix my editor by adding a Wait 0.1 after the file load to
clear the Changed event out of the event loop.
Seemed no matter what i did to set my own changed flag to false on load the
editors Changed event fired afterwards.
Using Wait fixed it.

I'm going back a few years but i remember VB had a DoEvents() method that
let the event loop run while in an event handler.
can Wait be considered the same?
I've sometimes found using Wait on it's own without 0.1 has caused a
program lock up but using a time fraction very much works like DoEvents()

If the Answer is "No you should not really use Wait like that" (Ben you've
often mentioned i have used Wait where i should not) then can we get a
DoEvents() function?
