material editor refresh bug

[Ros. Riha]

In the past builds, once I purged some materials via AutoCAD _purge command, they did instantly disappear from nXt material widget. In the current build, they keep staying there and I have to reopen the file to get rid of them.

You should be able to right-click and hit Refresh if it doesn't auto-refresh.

Refresh button seems to be grayed out from time to time. If Refresh button did work all the time and did its job, I would not have started this discussion.

We use ACA, we have plenty of xrefs, so our environment might be somehow unusual, but still - there are situations (that occur quite frequently) when the material, that has just been purged out from dwg, still hangs in nXt - the only emedy is close/reopen: refresh is grayed out.

It happens in 100% causes once:

1. I create an ACA element
2. I open it
3. It shows a material, that stays there because of some old material definition,not being used in the drawing 
4. I purge ACA styles
5. I purge AutoCAD

There's no refresh button, just a pop-up menu item when you right-click the material list.  This should never be grayed out.
