This is an open issue, it is part of this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/792058 Zim does load a page from disk when you open it in most cases. However, sometimes there is indeed a cached version that shows up, if the page object is still used by some other component. To fix this in a robust way I need to finish refactoring the code base. (Finished refactoring the parsers, now in the middle of rewriting the editor widget, page objects are next..) A work around is to press <Ctrl>R whenever you suspect a page may have changed and it will reload from disk.
