DocumentListener.documentChanged(): PsiFile isn't updated

Hello Alex,

I have added the DocumentListener and update information in the tool
window on document change (like outline view for the current file).

The problem is when I access the current PsiFile in the
documentChanged() method then PsiFile doen't contain recent changes.

Do I need different listener type (something for listening PSI
changes)? Should I use inspections for this task? Or there is method
to update PSI caches?

You should call PsiDocumentManager.getInstance().commitDocument() before
accessing the PSI from your documentChanged() handler.

And generally you won't do this anyway, since calling commitDocument() on
every document change will slow down everything.
If you are tracking PSI changes you should rather
PsiManager.addPsiChangeListener().
