Description
When a unit is open in the IDE, then you open and modify it in an external editor, then switch back to Delphi, the IDE recognizes that the file datetime stamp has changed and offers to reload the file.

However, the Error Insight does not re-scan the reloaded file,  so the that all red-lining remains from the original (before external notifications) source.
Steps to Reproduce:
-  Create a new form, define an event handler with an error in it, such as:

procedure TForm3.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Width := Width_no_such_property + 10;
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
end;

- Observe that the EI has red-lined the error

- Save (but don't not close) the file.

- Open the .PAS file in Notepad (or any other external editor) and correct the error

- Save it in Notepad and switch back to the IDE; confirm "reload"

- Observe that the red-lining has not changed:

procedure TForm3.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Width := Width + 10;
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
end;

- After you touch the text in the IDE,  the red-lining is gone.
