When performing an _Update Project_ it does not appear that the Global project is updated/refreshed. Is the the intended behavior or a bug? For example, someone edits a global project and publishes in their designer, then I _Update Project_, I do not seem to get the changes until I re-open the designer or re-open a project.

Is there a was to force refresh the Global project in the designer without close/open?
