Demo project keeps reimporting after gaining focus

[Iakobs]

Whenever I change focus from Godot and I tab back into it, it reimports some files as if they changed, but there were no changes at all. These are the files that the OS detects as modified:

I'm using a MacBook Pro with an Apple M4 PRO chip, 48GBs of RAM and MacOs Sequoia 15.1.1 and Godot v4.3.stable.official [77dcf97d8]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download or clone the godot-xr-tools project.
2. Open the demo project in Godot
3. Wait for reimport to finish
4. Save project
5. Tab out of Godot and tab back in
6. Godot reimports again all the aforementioned files

I've tried removing the .godot file but that didn't help.

Thanks a lot and happy holidays!

By the way, I tried also the project in Mobile mode instead of compatibility, and then the issue is gone, in case that helps solving it.

Thanks @Iakobs ! I saw the same on my MacBook and was just looking to see if there was a workaround and your switch to mobile mode did the trick!

The other important thing the switch to the Mobile rendering method fixes is without it there's no way to open the demo scenes in godot. In compatibility mode Godot will state that scenes like pickable_demo are corrupt.
