File's list Symbols not automatically updated in panel when pasting symbols from another file.
Illustrator CC 2018 (22.1) on Mac High Sierra 10.13.3
I have a file that already has symbols in it. When I paste more symbols from another file, the symbols recently pasted do not appear in the Symbols panel (eg if I want to select one of them and use the panel's menu to select all instances).
The first file below shows the Symbol panel with the new symbols missing.
The second shows the Replace dropdown menu, where the new symbols are shown (colour circles).
I only managed to make the new symbols appear by creating a random new one (it refreshed the list) and then deleting it.

Hi Raghuveer,
I'm sorry I do not have a save of the files as they were. But if it happens again, I'll share the files with you.

(well, images seem to have been swapped, but you get the meaning)
