Workaround, Press Ctrl-R (refresh)
That's now fixed in git. Previously we updated the main window in
response to the "Define new variable" option only when a (single)
series was generated. Now we update when a list is generated too, in
case (as in the instance Sven describes) this involves adding new
series to the dataset.
But, as Jack says, Ctrl-R will force a sync of the main window
display with the actual dataset in case there's any slippage.
