How do I enable the "Confirm Reload?" dialog

I am trying to find out how to enable the "Confirm ... Reload?" dialog in version 11.0.2.1766. I like to keep a running backup of files I am editing using RCS (old but handy for individual files). I have done this successfully for years in PL/SQL Developer by a small bat file in the tools menu. When the file is updated I am prompted "Confirm ...xxx timestamp changed. Reload?" I answer NO and simply continue editing. That has worked for years and (e.g.) is working on a machine with "10.0.5.1710" installed.

I have a new machine at work running pl/sqldev version "11.0.2.1766" and this does not work. The problem is I am not prompted to reload the file, instead it automatically reloads whether I want that or not. I do not want that as it interferes with my editing (e.g. the cursor moves to the top of the file and the undo/redo is all lost).

What setting do I use to turn on the "Confirm ... Reload?" dialog?
Thanks
 
Can you go to Preferences > User Interface / Options, click on the "DSA Dialogs" and let me know the text that is displayed?
 
A dialog called "Text editor" opens and it contains the following text, which I cut and pasted between the = signs (thanks)
=====
;Shows a list of dialogs that have the "Don't Show this message Again" option checked
;You can delete lines for the messages you want to enable
;No dialogs defined yet
