Version: 1.9.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian stable Packages Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) OS: Linux If a document is changed externally kile reloads it but does not update the structure view. The reloading of a changed document should trigger this (like saving does). This might be related to bug #58970 don't collapse structure tree on save or document change http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58970 or at least looked at while implementing the "remember tree state" feature. I am on Debian and compiled kile: Qt: 3.3.7 KDE: 3.5.5 Kile: 1.9.3 Thank you all!
Fixed in Kile 2.0 beta 2 (696353).
