OK. We should try to avoid that; see below.

Well, if you inhibit our current way of refreshing the view, it's kind
of expected that it doesn't work anymore. ;)

What we should do is enhancing the logic to

a) just redraw instead of querying the back-end again for changes we
   triggered ourselves and / or
b) update our model based on the change notifications rather than
   throwing away our state.
