Visual studio 2015 not removing pending changes immediately after a check-in (TFS 2015)

Question

When my team and I were on visual studio 2013, after successfully checking in our pending changes, the files that were checked in would be removed from the pending changes window.

Ever since upgrading to 2015, we have lost this functionallity. Now, after a successfuly check in, the pending changes will remain in the pending changes window until they are manually undone or and identical check in is undertaken in which case all of the files will sync themselves with source control and will no longer be pending changes.

When diffing the files with their counterparts in source control after a successful check in, it is clear that there are no changes between the two despite the fact they are still in the pending changes window. Is it possible that we have overlooked a simple setting that allows us to sync with TFS immediatelyafter a check in?

Thanks

Never seen your issue before. Try to upgrade your TFS and VS to the latest edition.

Also, if the pending changes are under Excluded Changes, they won't be checked in.
