GitHub Desktop is showing changes but I havent made changes and up to date with master

See original GitHub issue

Description

From time to time when I open GitHub Desktop program it will show changes even when I didn’t make any changes to the file locally and I’m up to date with master branch.

Version

GitHub Desktop: Ver. 1.1.1

Operating system: Windows 10 Pro Native - [Version 10.0.17134.48]

Steps to Reproduce

Open GitHub Desktop
Verify you’re on master & click Pull
A file or change another co-worker did shows under changes
- But, I did pull and expect to see any new changes or file. The problem I’m having is it’s showing changes but I didn’t make any changes locally please help.

Expected Behavior

Would expect after opening GitHub desktop and pulling and syncing with master that no changes should be showing because I havent made any local changes.

Actual Behavior

The problem I’m having is it’s showing changes but I didn’t make any changes locally please help.

@ryanagler you can try running git config core.filemode false to ignore file mode changes for the specific repository you are working with. If you would like to set that option globally you can use the --global flag to set it in the global .gitconfig.

This is still a bug. I have 1600+ changed files which are not changed. And all telling : “no content changes found”.
