Version:
Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers (includes Incubating components)

Version: 2021-03 (4.19.0)
Build id: 20210312-0638



What happened:
 - in a general/project, link into it a filesystem file, named foo.properties
 - drag that file in Eclipse with CTRL to make a copy into the same (root) folder of the same project, name it foo.copy.properties
 - open and do some editing in the copy
 - realize it is not a copy but actually a link to the same file, so undo all changes (ctrl-z)
 - delete foo.copy.properties
 - create a new file in the same folder, name it foo.copy.properties
 - open it

Result:
instead of getting an empty editor, it shows the contents of before (like in the original foo.properties file)

Also:
 - create a new file, name it wtf.properties
 - open it to check it is empty
 - close the editor
 - rename the file to foo.copy.properties
 - open it

Result:
The content of foo.properties appear again, instead of empty
