Page renaming doesn't update the index properly

Imagine we created a page-link like this:

[[doing/task/Task1]]

Now if we rename it to something like

[[done/task/Task1]]

its properties don’t get updated properly, specifically its data-refs-self HTML attribute will contain:

["doing", "doing/task", "done/task/Task1"]

As you see, the first two members are old. It should have been instead:

["done", "done/task", "done/task/Task1"]

The only way I found so far to fix this is to run the Re-index procedure, which closes all opened blocks.

What it breaks in my case - is styling. I color links depending on their “status”. E.g:


div[data-refs-self*='"done/'] {
  --lx-accent-11: #ccc;
  color: #ccc;
}
