css not updating

When I add a style to a style sheet using the css editor in DW it will show it
in the editor and in the pop up menu on the page I am applying the style to,
but it isn't in the style sheet it's self. This also happens if I use the
editor to update styles - It shows the change in the editor but not in the
actual style sheet it's self.

I even will hit apply before closing the style sheet editor and it doesn't
save. I should say sometimes it takes and other times it doesn't. Any idea why
this is happening?

Can anyone tell me why the css file isn't updating when I do the updates using
the panel? It shows the changes correctly in the panel and in the css pull down
when editing the page. But it isn't changing it in the actual css file. So in
the end nothing has been changed. I have to manually apply the code to the file
instead of relying on the panel.

Don't use the panel. You'll learn CSS far better by writing it in by hand code
Plus, if you actually type your styles in, you can be sure that they are where
they are supposed to be when you hit "save".
