The Bug:
The skin library does not update the preview every time you change the cape, but only when you navigate to a different page in order to force an actualization of the preview image.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the launcher and go to the Minecraft: Java Edition tab.
Go to the Skins page and edit an existing skin that already has a cape equipped.
Change it to a different cape and click "Save".
→ ❌ The preview image in the skin library still displays the previous cape.
Go to another page, such as Installations, and then back again.
→ ✔ The preview image in the skin library is updated and displays the currently selected cape.
Observed Behavior:
The skin library does not update the preview every time you change the cape.
Expected Behavior:
The skin library updates the preview every time you change the cape, without the need to force an update by switching to a new page.

The same issue occurs in 2.3.643 (New Windows App) when changing skins. The preview image will still display the old skin, even though it is already changed.
Confirmed.
