Reproduction

1. Create a structure with 2 different templates
2. Create a Web Content from this structure
3. Place a Web Content Display on a page and configure it to display this Web Content
4. Change the template of the Web Content to the other
5. Refresh the page

Expected: Web Content Display changes Display Template

Actual: Web Content Display stays the same.

 

Additional note: Pressing the Default Template link will only set the Web Content's current Template to be the Web Content Display's Display Template. This means that there is no way to set the Web Content Display to automatically use the Web Content's current template, as it can only manually be updated to do so.
