Merged pull request still shown in Desktop several hours after merging/closing

See original GitHub issue

Description

When a pull request is created, it is shown in the ‘Pull requests’ tab in the ‘Current branch’ menu. I then navigate to GitHub.com and merge the commit, but the pull request is still shown in GitHub desktop ‘Pull requests’ tab.

If I continue to commit to this branch and then try and ‘Create a pull request’, the menu option has changed to ‘Show pull request’ and does not allow me to create a pull request (even though the previous pull request has already been merged).

Version

GitHub Desktop version: 1.1.0

OS version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce

Create and approve a pull request

Actual behavior: IThe menu item has changed, only allowing me to show the previous pull request

Reproduces how often: Every time

Same issue here, merged PR remains on the “Created” tab on web. It’s been over a couple of days.

Haven’t tried on desktop.

I’ve been able to reproduce this, and it’s related to the merged PR being the last PR in the repository. This is unrelated to the whole “open a new branch to create a new PR” discussion.

See #4148 for the fix.
