I do notice though that if I edit what it wrote before accepting it, and then it sees it (either because I didn’t wait for it to finish or because I send it another message), it will overwrite my changes with what it had before my changes every single time, without fail.

Gemini has insisted on remembering an earlier version of a file even after its own edits.

“We removed that, remember?”

“Yes! I see now …”

Sometimes it circles back to that same detail that no longer exists.

Interesting. I always wait for it to finish with my workflow.

It does it even if I wait for it to finish, but don't accept. Eg:

Starting code: a quick brown fox

prompt 1: "Capitalize the words"

AI: A Quick Brown Fox

I don't accept or reject, but change it to "A Quick Red Fox"

prompt 2: "Change it to dog"

AI: A Quick Brown Dog

Do you tell it to reread the file? Seems like the updates aren't in the context.

[dkersten]

Hmm, perhaps not. I’ll have to experiment more.
