Thanks for the bug.  As a workaround the preview can be reloaded by switching to the source view and making a change, then switching back to the preview tab.

Unfortunately, that workaround doesn't work when updating images. If I overwrite an image (same file name) then modify the text in the source view, the preview still shows the old image. I have to start Eclipse to see the updated image.
