[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Greetings.

I am experiencing problems with viewing remote images. When resizing an 
image (e.g. by resizing Emacs frame) Emacs occasionally (approximately 
~30% reproducibility) can prompt |... changed on disk; really edit the 
buffer?| which does not make a lot of sense. Regardless of my response 
Emacs outputs errors, lags for several seconds and only after that 
resizes the image.

I am using currently most recent commit on TRAMP repo 
(69844458e33b5dcae53de249d9d82c59a5876055) containing some necessary 
fixes. Prior to these fixes Emacs could occasionally stall on resizing 
remote image and only interruption with C-g could help (or sometimes 
making Emacs completely unresponsive). Also attaching TRAMP debug file 
which I hope exposes the problem.

As far as I could understand from my conversation with TRAMP devs while 
working on the fixes there are problems with functions called on 
idle-timer in image mode ... 😬

Below as a quotation is what |report-emacs-bug| has generated.

To make this report I ran emacs as follows:

|emacs -Q --eval="(progn (add-to-list 'load-path 
\"/home/mikpom/Dropbox/.config/emacs-plugins/tramp\") (require 'tramp) 
(setq tramp-verbose 10) (setq tramp-use-ssh-controlmaster-options nil) 
(setq tramp-debug-to-file t))"

Thanks,

Mikhail
