Steps to reproduce:
1. In a new OBS scene, create a Text (FreeType 2) source, and set it to read from a text file path that doesn't yet exist
2. Create that text file and write something in it, eg echo "hello" > file.txt
3. Observe: stream preview doesn't update that text source
4. Close OBS and create the same text file anew, then launch OBS
5. Update the text file's contents
6. Observe: stream preview updates the text source as it changes
The above steps behave as expected (Text source updates as soon as the text file changes) in Windows, whereas they don't in Linux. Various automated setups like the kind I use create files at runtime, so it would be nice to be able to depend upon the same behavior on all platforms.
