P: Absolute File Path doesn't show renamed file names

The Metadata panel's field Absolute File Path doesn't show renamed file names until LR is restarted. To reproduce:

 

1. In Metadata > Default, use Customize to put the Absolute File Path field below File Name.

 

2. Select a photo, click in File Name, and change the name.

 

3. Observe that Absolute File Path hasn't changed (incorrect):

 

4. Restart LR and observe Absolute File Path now shows the new file name.

 

Tested on LR 11.5 / Mac OS 12.4.

 

These bugs with stale metadata fields keep trickling in after the change several releases ago to the optimized metadata-display architecture.  Perhaps a two-pairs-of-eyes code review is warranted.
