status live/sync issues

When working over skype and making changes live, there seem to be problems with seeing the current status. At times, the only solution is to close and re-open Unity. As I write this, here's what just happened:

1) I pushed a change
2) remote user downloaded change
3) remote user's window showed blue pending changes to push (which makes no sense since they were synced, but ok let's assume there was some lurking change on their side)
4) I pushed another change
5) remote user did not show pending changes to download, rather it still showed blue/push.
6) remote user's collab dropdown was deselected / unselectable
7) remote user closing and restarting unity allowed to download changes
8) remote user's collab again showed blue push, so they did it even though it seemed to be empty
9) all is in sync for both parties

 

I've been experiencing similar problem. Little workaround would be to press the update button in the history window instead of restarting Unity.
Also do you know what files was pending to push for the 2nd user?

 

Hmmm don't know now, but will take note next time. Thanks
