Question detail page out of sync with question list

I'm noticing a disconnect in the UX between the list of questions on the home page and the actual questions if you click a link. For example on the home page I see a question that supposedly has an answer.

However if you click the link there are no answers.

Refreshing the page doesn't do anything. I have found if you add a comment/answer then suddenly the page is synced up correctly.

This is happening a couple of times a day at least.

    I noticed this as well. When paging through

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/?filterby=unanswered

    several showed threads with no answers (that I had answered) and with tags I know I changed 12 to 20 hours earlier.

    I also see this when I post an answer. For example yesterday and today I posted an answer to a question. After the save succeeded my answer didn't show up. Refreshing the page doesn't change anything. This doesn't happen all the time.

    If I go back to the home page and refresh that it shows I have answered but clicking the link doesn't show the answer yet.
