get_terms() after wp_update_term() gives old list

[mastermind]

When you call get_terms() after you have modified a term via wp_update_term(), you still get the old list.

Workaround: Call wp_flush_cache() after wp_update_term(). (Obviously, a performance killer.)

The solution would be to not call get_terms() in the same page load.

WP handles it by always doing a redirect after any edit.

Didn't mean to close without a resolution.

Actually, can't reproduce on current trunk:

$category = get_term(1, 'category');
$category->slug = 'uncategorized' . current_time('timestamp');

wp_update_term( $category->term_id, 'category', array( 'slug' => $category->slug ) );

var_dump( $category );
var_dump( get_terms('category') );

get_terms() returns the updated term as well. Looks like fixed in 3.2.

Thanks for checking. I'm on vacation now, I'll have a look at it when I'm back.
