If I change many function names via plugin, they appear immediately in the symbols pane, but don't change in the main view until you navigate away and back or do something like that to get them to appear.

Steps To Reproduce:

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the plugin-driven renames in the Binary Ninja main view and compare them with the symbols pane; done means renamed functions appear immediately without navigating away, returning, or otherwise forcing a refresh.
