The object script (bottom right window) is not refreshed: OK. Now, if you re-open the query tool, it will take the content of the bottom right window, so the old script. If you don't pay attention to that (imagine a big function, this was my case), you modify the script but from the previous version.

If the query tool's feature to get the currently selected object's
script, you can disable this in options. The query tool can't know what
you're doing, because it's meant for arbitrary queries. It's completely
inacceptable to issue a complete refresh of the main window after each
execute, which is what you're requesting in consequence. But you can do
this yourself (F5 key on the object: table, schema, or even database).

When using the property dialogs, which I'd recommend for minor changes,
pgadmin knows what you're doing, and will refresh the tree after the
change is successfully stored.

Andreas
