I think that you'll find that this does happen.
See text3.C, line 1448:
case LFUN_PARAGRAPH_UPDATE: {
...
bv->owner()->getDialogs().update("paragraph", data);
break;
}
Ie, the core tells the dialog that it should update its contents.
The call above invokes Dialog::update (frontends/controllers/Dialog.C)
which in turn invokes
view().update();
That's you, matey ;-)
So, if you want to emit a signal in GParagraph::update() to do whatever you
feel is necessary, then just go ahead and do it.
