Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.18-20161219185928+7868d49

I got an email notification that someone was following me, went into the app. and clicked on my profile and it hadn't updated. Closed app. / reopened ... still same.

I then searched for the person who started following me and clicked their name, and it loaded to show that they are following me ... then went back to the profile and it first said the old number but flickered almost immediately and updated to +1.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named in the report. Reproduce the follower-count behavior in the Mac app, then trace the profile refresh triggered after opening another user's profile; done means a newly received follow appears without closing the app or navigating away.
