Refresh Issues with af:fileDownloadActionListener

Question

I have a page with has table - (contents from a data control). Row selection is enabled for this table. I have a menu item (download) in this page which invokes a taskflow inside a popup.
This taskflow has a command button af:commandButton (named Download) and fileDownloadActionListener associated with it and it downloads a file (based on the row selected) and closes the poupup.
<af:commandButton text="filedownload"
shortDesc="#{lifecycle_ui_bundle.EXPORT_SRM_LABEL}"
visible="true"
id="lcsrmdwnldbtn">
<af:fileDownloadActionListener filename="#{pageFlowScope.lifecycle_srmexport.exportArchiveFile}"
contentType="application/force-download; charset=utf-8"
method="#{pageFlowScope.lifecycle_srmexport.downloadFile}"/>
</af:commandButton>
Bean Method:
public void downloadFile(FacesContext context, OutputStream out)
throws IOException
OutputStreamWriter w = new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8");
w.write("Hi there!");
// The stream is automatically closed, but since we wrapped it,
// we'd better flush our writer
w.flush();
This taskflow also has another command button (named Save) it creates a file in /tmp location (based on the row selected) and closes the poupup.
when you select a row and invoke the menu download, the poupappears with the download and Save command buttons and the clicking on the command button downloads file and closes the popup.
First time its all proper. but NOw for the second time when i try to select another row from the table, the datacontrol popinter still remembers the old value. This happens only after the use of the Download command button (fileDownloadActionListener) in the popup.
If i use the save Command , datacomtrol pointer moves correctly to the selected row and i get the correct value of the row.
How can i refresh the parent page (not the poup) upon clicking of the Doenload Button (After downloading the file).

Yes the contentDelivery is set to lazyUncached
<af:popup id="actP2"
binding="#{pageFlowScope.srm_resourceAction.actionPopup}"
contentDelivery="lazyUncached" childCreation="deferred">
<af:dialog title="#{WCTruncator[pageFlowScope.srm_resourceAction.actionPopupTitle]['39']}"
id="d1"
type="none"
helpTopicId="#{pageFlowScope.srm_resourceAction.helpTopicId}">
<f:facet name="buttonBar">
<af:panelGroupLayout halign="end" id="pgl1">
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.srm_resourceAction.handleOK}"
text="#{(pageFlowScope.actionName == 'create') ?
uib_o_w_srm_UIBundle.CREATE_ACTION_LABEL : uib_o_w_srm_UIBundle.SRM_OK}"
id="cb5" partialSubmit="true"
rendered="#{pageFlowScope.actionName ne 'export' and pageFlowScope.actionName ne 'import'}"/>
<af:commandButton immediate="true"
text="#{uib_o_w_srm_UIBundle.SRM_CANCEL}" id="cb6"
visible="#{!(pageFlowScope.actionName == 'about')}"
rendered="#{pageFlowScope.actionName ne 'export' and pageFlowScope.actionName ne 'import'}">
<af:clientListener method="srm_hidePopup" type="action"/>
</af:commandButton>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
<af:region value="#{bindings.dynamicRegion1.regionModel}" id="r1"/>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
Could you please let me know why the datacontrol pointer is not moved to the currently selected row post the invocation of the downloadlistener.
