latexmk does not recognise changes

[cortner]

Note before reading the description: this may appear as a bug with latexmk but it is not - I can use latexmk without problems from Atom.io as well as from the terminal with latexmk -pdf ....

On trying to build a latex project, it regularly happens that latexmk does not recognise that the files have changes and exists with the following message:

Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 17 Jan. 2018, version: 4.55.
Latexmk: All targets (proposal.pdf) are up-to-date

Note the time-stamps (only subset of files displayed):

-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff   15936 19 Jan 11:31 proposal.aux
-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff   19238 19 Jan 11:42 proposal.fdb_latexmk
-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff   18126 19 Jan 11:31 proposal.fls
-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff   42750 19 Jan 11:31 proposal.log
-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff     963 19 Jan 11:31 proposal.out
-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff  759226 19 Jan 11:31 proposal.pdf
-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff  402186 19 Jan 11:31 proposal.synctex.gz
-rw-r--r--@  1 ortner  staff    8555 19 Jan 11:42 proposal.tex

Steps to reproduce the behavior: I cannot reproduce consistently. But what typically seems to happen is I run into this problem, I then delete all auxiliary files, then the next build works fine. I then make further changes and the next build runs into the problem described above.
