net names don't refresh on update

[Chris Pavlina]

Probably related to the text rendering patch again. Change a net in schematic, then "Update PCB from schematics". Tracks on that net are renamed as usual, but the name is not re-rendered until something forces an update (like highlighting the net). Probably happens with netlist import as well but I'm not using that.

It's probably platform-specific then. I didn't spend the time compiling a full report because it's as far as I can see a more general follow-up to a specific bug Orson already knows about and fixed, just wanted him to see that the non-updating labels probably goes farther than just the original. He just wrote that code, he's going to be familiar with it and if there's any specific information he wants, he can ask :)

I should update and say that I used the update command from within pcbnew, not within eeschema. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Also, I'm going to mark this In Progress, as I just spoke to Orson and it is, in fact, in progress - a more generic solution, rather than just packing in extra Update() calls all over the place.
