Sorry for taking so long to reply.

I just changed the settings as you describe (I had it showing the  
Console only when an error occurs) and I am still not seeing the  
behavior you describe. The PDF preview updates after typesetting  
without me touching it (after I have selected it during typesetting).

Very odd.

All the best,
