ido-mode outdated file list

I am using Emacs on Windows 7, and am finding that ido-mode is not picking up some files created since I started using it.

E.g. directory contains:

foo.txt
bar.txt

Open foo.txt in Emacs. Later, create blah.txt in the directory (also in Emacs).

When I do C-x C-f with ido-mode enabled, I see foo.txt and bar.txt but not the newly created blah.txt.

No matter how many times I open this file, it doesn't show. I either step out of ido with C-f or type the name exactly to get to it.

Any ideas what could fix this? I don't have FileNameCache enabled.

How do you create blah.txt? – aartist
Within Emacs, actually. It's not consistent, though, it is happening with a few files only at the moment – HXCaine
Is blah.txt saved when it happens? Can any other program see it? – Dmitry
Yes it's saved, I am able to use it as usual in the terminal and I can still open it in Emacs if I type the full name and 'confirm'. I can also C-f out of ido-mode and it gets picked up fine – HXCaine
This post asks a similar question (in addition to an unrelated one). – Alan

Using ido-reread-directory (Bound to C-l) should solve this problem.

To read the files do

C-x C-f and then C-l to reread the directory when necessary.
