Steps to reproduce
1. Create a Microsoft Office file (Word, Excel Powerpoint, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, ...) and upload it to Owncloud
2. Sync the file with the Owncloud Desktop Client to a Windows PC
3. On the Windows PC: Open the file in the local file system with Microsoft Office (Word, Powerpoint or Excel) - without changing anything
4. Change the file on the server during the file is still opened in the local file system (from another PC or upload a changed file with the same name to the web frontend)
5. Close the file in the local file system (close the Microsoft Office program)
Expected behaviour
The desktop client should update the file in the local file system with the changed version from the server .
Actual behaviour
The desktop client does not change the file in the local file system. But the activity protocol in the desktop client says that the file is downloaded.
In reality nothing happens, even when you wait longer. No update happens if you close the local copy. Also it is not possible to force an update or any information of a sync conflict.
