⚠️ This bug was reproduced in Dawn and can occur in any theme. ⚠️
Problem
IF a global theme setting is mapped to a CSS property in {% style %} AND that same setting is used within a CSS file imported via asset_url THEN the CSS property in {% style %} will not update in the Theme Editor until changes are saved.
The problem occurs the same if the {% style %} is within a rendered snippet or section.
Color settings do not have the same problem.
Workaround
Using <style> instead of {% style %} solves the problem.
