System Information
Windows 10 64 nVidia GTX570

Blender Version
Broken: 2.77a, official abf6f08

Short description of error
Switching form one brush texture to another doesn't lead to a refresh of the displayed overlayed texture in the UV editor

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
1.New file

2.Open UV editor, create new image, choose the paint mode.
Toolshelf, Options, tick "show texture overlay".

3.Properties panel, texture tab, choose "other data texture" to be displayed
Create new texture, say marble
Create another new texture, an image this time (but can be anothe texture, say clouds…), link to an image of your choice

4.Now, while still in the properties panel, switch back and forth between your 2 textures and hover over the image: the texture won't get refreshed if you don't zoom in/out. That means you can paint a marble texture while Blender overlays the image you've chosen in your other texture slot.

As a side effect, the thumbnail in the UV editor's toolshelf, under the texture tab won't be refreshed as well. You have to hover over it for it to be refreshed

This is a very small annoyance, but still worth mentionning, as visual feedback from the UI to the user is misleading.
