.env variables are not automatically updated when used in the environments settings

I have checked the following:

• I have searched existing issues and found nothing related to my issue.

This bug is:

• making Bruno unusable for me
• slowing me down but I'm able to continue working
• annoying

Bruno version

1.39.1

Operating System

macos 15.3

Describe the bug

Many times I have to update my .env for various reasons...
It would be great to have a "reload .env" button or an automatic .env reload to not close and reopen Bruno to do that.
The reload is working only by referring the .env property directly but not if it is referred in a environment variable.

If you define the property in the environment (top right dropdown combo) it is not refreshing when changed in the .env file.
e.g.
this is defined in the DEV env
x_api_key={{process.env.DEV_X_API_KEY}}

this is defined in the STAGING env
x_api_key={{process.env.STAGING_X_API_KEY}}

DEV_X_API_KEY and STAGING_X_API_KEY are defined in the .env file as

DEV_X_API_KEY=1
STAGING_X_API_KEY=2

if you change DEV_X_API_KEY=1 to DEV_X_API_KEY=A the change is not reflected automatically in Bruno.
Sometime it works by selecting different environments in the top right dropdown, sometime changing the collection...but not always.

Copying over my last comment from the discussion, I'm still not able to reproduce. https://app.screencast.com/mlQnzEBC81Kt6

Yes you are right, everything is working as expected.
Few days ago it wasn't, probable something wrong on my side.

Glad it's sorted! I'll close this.
