Feature tree names updating?

Here is a weird one. Since I updated to SW04, if I go to SW explorer and rename a file, it updates the file but it does not update the name in the assy. The assy feature tree still displays the old name...but if I right click on it and open it, it opens the correct renamed file! Has anyone seen this bug?
thanks

Not a bug - it's a setting

Great Scott! I could not find anything anywhere on this, my VAR couldn't either! Too early...more coffee
thanks Scott
 
I wish! We are stuck here in So Cal (building lease)
 
Is there a way to make this component name configuration specific? Regardless of which configuration of a part I have active in an assembly this shows the same value.
