Yes further editing does not change anything until a validation tool is actually run. When the tool is run it fully clears and updates the Validation window, so the Validation pane will either display a list of errors or No Problems found.

Closing the validation window is simply hiding it. To get updated info on a validation run you must actually run a validation tool. The pane will always show the results from the last tool run.

So as far as I can tell this is working as designed.

Exactly what are you looking for?

Is it just a way to clear the current results from a previous run without re-running a validation tool?
My concern is a lack of confidence that a subsequent check tool has actually run. Nothing seems to happen - did I hit the F7 key correctly?

If the 'old' message simply cleared visibly for a fraction of a second, I would be convinced that the tool had run and generated a new all clear message.

Maybe the old message could be cleared after a short time, or 'no problems found!' could alternate with 'no problems found again!' ?
