Bug? PyScripter using old version of file, even though it was updated and saved

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm having a small problem which I think might be some sort of bug:

Portable Python 1.1 based on Python 2.6.1 "installed" on a sandisk
cruzer 2gb pen drive (disk on key/flash drive).
Connected to XP machine.

using PyScripter, I opened multiple files via:
"File > Open" and selected multiple files

script_a imports script_b
I run script_a which errors because of a function in script_b
I fix the function in script_b and run script_a
it still errors out (even though the file has been saved).
If I save all scripts, close pyscripter and open it again (script_b
has the corection I made) it works fine and uses the new version of
script_b.

This is very weird... Looks to me like the import function isn't
working properly (using data from a cache of some sort?)

Let me know if you need more info... the problem is definitely
reproducible!

P.S.
Portable Python developer dude indicated that it's not on his end...

Sorry, forgot to indicate I was using version 1.9.9.6

I'll download the latest version and verify.

Yup, still happens with version 1.9.9.7

Seems unlikely to me that such a bug would creep so far into development... I'm 
much
more inclined to think it has something to do with how I'm doing things - but 
since
this was the behaviour out of the box... not sure what to think.

I can confirm this behaviour (I'm on a clean install of 1.9.9.7).
It has been present for some time (made me switch away from pyScripter, but I 
forgot
why ;-))

This makes multi-module projects a pain to work with...

a workaround is to use the rpyc external python engine and to restart the engine
(ctrl+f2) after every change...

I would have already switched to something else, but I really like the debugger 
in
pyscripter...

please fix this soon... this is annoying!!!

I also see this issue.
Seems OK if only editing without running in pyscipter.
