@Jdforrester-WMF Hotcat worked very well until the Captions were added. The issue could be solved forcing a page reload after editing Captions.

Captions may have introduced a regressive bug in HotCat, but the issue remains that the bug is within HotCat. Re-titling the task is inappropriate as it does nothing to fix the underlying problem, which is with HotCat.

@Keegan As I said above, there is a very simple fix: force page reload after editing captions.

I'm not an engineer, but that doesn't sounds like a good solution at all. As an end user, I would be startled and concerned if there was a forced page reload, that's not behavior you find on MediaWiki. Such a solution would be a hack of captions, not a fix of Hotcat.

Note that when you save an edit on a page then the page is reloaded, example if youadd a category with Hotcat, then the page is reloaded. Therefore it will not be extraordinarily shocking that a file page be reloaded after you have clicked on "Publish change" inside the caption box. IMO

In my understanding this needs to be fixed in HotCat, and HotCat developers do not track issues in Phabricator. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-HotCat#Problems?
