Follow-up Comment #4:

Thanks, I tried clicking on the gear and I tried the Preferences dialog, I
couldn't find a place that configured which columns are shown in the file
browser.

I thought it may have to do with the datevec code that changes the time zone
(which I wrote). I can confirm this behavior by running only 'test datevec'
repeatedly in the command window, with any script file open in the editor.

Confirmed, and I don't have any ideas on solutions, other than improving the
GUI in a future version to not poll file modification times as aggressively,
or while Octave functions are running.
