This follows the behavior of most code editors such as VS Code nowadays.
While this behavior can also be obtained when the setting is disabled (by choosing Discard local changes and reload), it's tedious to have to go through this dialog every time:
This is particularly the case when using external formatters.
When the setting is enabled, external changes can still be discarded by using the Undo function after they've been loaded.
