Hi,
I just migrated my workstation running CentOS 7 from KDE to MATE.
It looks like I'm having the same problem with the Caja file manager than with Dolphin. Folder contents don't get refreshed automatically, and I have to hit F5.
For example, when I download a file (say, a compressed archive) from the Internet, I have to hit F5 to see the file in Caja. And when I extract the archive, I have to hit F5 again.
Anybody knows where this nagging problem comes from?
I've seen it too. sometimes it does get refreshed, and I have never pursued it to see what is going on.
If, for example, I have a folder full of files displayed in caja, then do a bulk rename from a terminal window in the same directory, it does refresh the filenames. Also, when copying a bunch of files from one place into the window, the files do appear in the caja window as they get copied.
Sorry, but I don't know what is different about those two activities versus what you describe
