Looks like this issue is due to Dolphin not watching a directory, which can happen several ways, already loaded but inactive tabs or second Dolphin window. I did not see any errors in Dolphin.

To reproduce:
1. Open two Dolphin windows of the same folder,
2. Create a file in that folder with the terminal. One window will update and the other won't.
3. In the window that is not working, pressing F5 will have Dolphin correctly watch the folder again.

I already had higher inotify watches due to Insync.
