Summary	6157: CSS changes not reflected on website
Description	I originally posted this on the forums titled something along the lines of "How do I change line-height?", (In designing forum). Long story short, I figured out in themes you can customize the global.css and also html pages. After feedback from users on my websites, reading the long articles would look better with a line-height of 1.6em versus the 1.3 em that is default. I initially changed this toggled on the CSS page of the main theme I was using on the global file, (the global_html wrap I didnt find the line-height value), however the website does not reflect the actual change in line height. I return back to the CSS page in admin zone themes, and the value is reflective of the change, yet the physical website itself does not show the change in line height.
Steps To Reproduce	Admin Zone > Themes > Edit CSS > global.css, line 752-753 -- .zone_running_docs .comcode_page { line-height: 1.6em; (ORIGINALLY shows 1.3 em), yet when changed to 1.6 and saved, there is no change on the main website page.

But clearing the cache will not revert theme changes. Theme edits are saved under themes//_custom folders. Caches are saved under themes//_cached folders. When clearing the template cache, the *_cached files are the ones that get deleted. And they are re-generated with the new theme changes as people load different pages on your site.
