Of course, it's best if it works right.  But if the paper isn't updating 
you can make it update by using the "sync all source files" action, or 
by just making a trivial edit in the .tex file.  If it refuses to give 
you the output 5 minutes before you leave for the airport it's a real 
problem.

Yes.  For anyone who's wondering, Jonathan's proposal is on the bug
