Description
On a Receive Encrypted type folder, I had unexpected local changes, so the red button to revert them showed up. Choosing to proceed with reverting did not seem to do anything: the button and the local changes were still there. I then clicked the Rescan All button, but after completion the red button and local changes were still there. Only after refreshing the page in my browser, was the folder "Up to Date" and the button gone.
I expected the folder to show as "Up to Date" and the red "Revert Local Changes" button to be gone, without manually refreshing the page in my browser.
- Syncthing v1.19.0 running on a Debian 10 server
- Firefox Browser version 97.0 running on Ubuntu 20.04
NB: the button not working has previously been reported in #6436 and addressed in #6449, but it seems there is still a problem updating the GUI.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Receive Encrypted workflow in the GUI, including Revert Local Changes and Rescan All, using the reported browser and server setup if available. Compare the displayed folder status before and after a browser refresh; done means the folder becomes Up to Date and the red button disappears without a manual refresh.
