Modifying theme files: functions.php is updated, not style.css

Hi,

I’m trying to troubleshoot an issue (or at least what I perceive as a strange behavior).

1) If I update something in my the functions.php file of my theme, the change is immediately transfered to my website. ALL I need to do is empty the page cache and minify cache. That’s it. And I’m using Amazon CloudFront as my CDN (push method).

2) Now, if I change something to my style.css file… that’s something entirely different. Even if I ask, as an administrator, never to be served cached page nor files from the CDN… the modification won’t show. I can empty all the cache I want, enable and disable the CDN, deactivate and reactivate W3TC… nothing will do. I’m still serve the old style.css I even try and purged the file from the CDN. Nothing.

Why would functions.php be refresh so fast and not style.css while both belong to my theme folder?

Thanks a lot!
