Short description of error
Mesh only updates by going out of edit mode and entering edit mode again if linked duplicated mesh is made single user.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
- Select start-up cube and linked duplicate it and move it so that they do not overlap.
- Hit F3 and search for Make Single User, apply it to selected objects and check Object data.
- Select both of the cubes and linked duplicate them and move them so that they do not overlap.
- Select the last cube and make him single user too with Object data checked.
- Hit Tab to go to the Edit mode and try to select any vertices. Hit Tab again to go out of the Edit mode and then hit Tab again to enter the Edit mode one more time. Now the vertices will be selected.
One workaround is to linked duplicate troubled mesh and delete the copy, after that the last mesh will update as normal.
