Thanks! I understand now. What you see is expected. This behaviour has
been there before the patch.

What I was asking to test is whether org-cite can detect changes in
bibliography made outside Emacs. Those changes are only reflected in the
link colour during next fontification. Already fontified links are not
going to be updated (we can actually do it, but it can degrade
performance even further).

When you insert a link at a new line, only that newly inserted link will
be fontified taking into account changes in the bibliography. The old
link is already fontified from Emacs' point of view and hence will not
be updated.

When you insert a link at the same line with previous, Emacs detects
changes made in the line and re-fontifies the whole line (single line is
the minimal possible fontified region in Emacs by default). Hence, both
the old link and the newly inserted link get fontified according to the
updated bibliography.

Best,
Ihor
