Attaching new script case sensitivity

Windows 11 - v4.4.1.stable.steam [49a5bc7]

Issue description

When you attach a script that already exist, but the file name casing does not match, a new file is created that inherits the original script code.

For example you have:
MyScript.gd file which has class_name MyScript

You attach new script to a node and name it myscript.gd.
The editor says you LOAD an existing script and duplicates the existing code, but
the editor handles this script as unique > you have both MyScript.gd and myscript.gd in the code editor.

In this case you get an error (in the myscript.gd file) that class MyScript hides a global script class.

Steps to reproduce

Create a MyScript.gd file.

in the scene editor, create any kind of node and attach new script to it. set the path to be the same as MyScript.gd and set the name to have different casing. For example myscript.gd.

attach the new script.

code editor should have the contents of MyScript.gd but the file is treated as unique script.

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

I hope steps to reproduce are simple enough

How can I provide minimum reproduction project when the requirement to test this is to create a script on your own

[AThousandShips]

It was closed due to a lack of response, and you didn't specify this in the report

This doesn't look like an error, it seems to be file casing issues
