P4 submit fails some times on linux with validation failed error

On Linux, after a review has been completed on a CL(changelist), the

p4 submit

fails validation indicating a file has changed after the review. Example:

Submit validation failed – fix problems then use 'p submit -c 123456'.
'changeContent' validation failed: This file has been changed between the time it was reviewed and the time it was committed, starting on line 2:

But, the file hasn't changed. This doesn't happen all the time, just some times. When it happens, it doesn't matter how many reviews get completed on the CL, it will never submit. We're forced to move the changes over to Windows and review/submit them from there. Is there any solution to it?

The short answer is that your changeContent trigger is rejecting the submit. Fixing or disabling this trigger should allow the submit to proceed.

As far as speculating about what about this trigger could be broken, Bryan's suggestion about line endings is a good one. Maybe your Linux client is using share and one of your Windows clients is using unix? That's a recipe for a bad time for the Linux client.
