Unnoticed changes to my custom stylesheet

Hi everybody, as I edit my custom stylesheet 
"portal_skins/custom/ploneCustom.css" my site
doesn't notice the 
changes. First of all I have that file, as most of them,
managed and 
merged by portal_css. AFAIK the portal_css tool, as soon as
detects a 
change on any merged css file it merges the files again and
gives the 
file a new name in order to safely avoid css caching, so it
should be no 
problem and my changes should be immediately shown in my
site. However 
it's not the case. Once I reboot zope or save a change on
the portal_css 
form it noticed my file has changed, so I guess we can
safely ignore I'm 
using CacheFu and don't blame it.
I can't remember this happening before neither have
installed new 
products lately so I have no clue why portal_css, as I guess
it's where 
the problem lies, is doing its job right.

Thank you for your help and patience!

To me caching issues in plone are a bit of a black art. When
ever I  
start running into caching issues during development work, I
start by  
killing caching at all levels.

* Put portal_css & portal_javascript into debug mode
* Turn off CacheFu (by uninstalling it)
* Turn off browser caching and maybe delete the local cache
files.
   I have found IE to sometimes keep using old cache data
long
   after it should have been purged.
* Access the plone site via a different domain or via the
port address
   which neither your browser or CacheFu should have a copy
of.

CacheFu could be causing the problem. If portal_css has
updated  
itself, but CacheFu is still serving html that points to the
old css  
you will have this problem.

CacheFu and development do not go together, create a
DIYPloneStyle or
a paster skin for production, and a parallel site to develop
in
custom.  It's never too early to develop good habits.

Also, it's necessary to reset the portal_css tool the first
time
something is customized, e.g. copied into the custom folder
via zmi.
This can be done by restarting zope or more easily by going
into the
front page of portal_css in zmi and hitting
"save".
