Watching events not reliable on a dev environment

[eloudsa]

Hello

I'm using Metamask in a development environment with the following tools:

• Truffle v3.4.11 (core: 3.4.11)
• Solidity v0.4.15 (solc-js)
• testrpc v4.1.3
• Metamask v3.11.2
• network: localhost:8545
• frontend app with webpack

The development process requires to migrate new versions of the contracts and/or to restart the node.

If we start from a clean situation, we are able to watch our events from our frontend application: fromBlock: 'latest', toBlock: 'latest'

But if we restart the testrpc node and redeploy our contracts, the events are not more watched through Metamask.

We have tried to switch networks or to lock and unlock Metamask without success.
The only way is to disable and re-enable the Metamask extension from Chrome.

You can imagine that this process slow down the development process

Did you notice this issue?
Is there another way to "reset" the state of Metamask without disabling and re-enabling the extension?
What do you think about adding a developer mode to Metamask to have access to some additional feature such as clearing its context/cache?

Thanks,

Said
