Browser-sync: No Auto-Reload-Refresh after files changes (local/static or on web dev server project)

[Mil00Z]

Issue details

For several days now, and i don't know why, when I start browser-sync, it isn't auto 'correctly' reload on all viewport i have opened : i have to use CTRL +F5 to apply my change on my all devices to see the changes.

I actually use the UI Interface and the commande 'Reload ALL'

Steps to reproduce/test case

I start my project like this way :

browser-sync start -s -f="css/.css, js/.js,*.html" -b"=Vivaldi" for statics files (testing or anything like that)

OR
browser-sync start -p ="my url to watch" -f="css/.css,js/.js,*.html" -b"=Vivaldi"

In Addition:

• i use also the path files f="assets/css/.css, assets/js/.js" and more when my project folder are a lil' bit more constructed

• i use sass and prepross Software to compil my scss in css folder but i don't understand why this way could be the central point of my beug.

_Please provide necessary steps for reproduction of this issue, or better the
reduced test case (without any external dependencies)_.

Is there any whitespace before your doctype? Could be same as #1299
