Can't see live changes in edit mode on character I've see the opposite of my problem but I can't seem to find anyone who has had this happen. I can see changes only after a bounce back to object mode, but only for some things. In the images below you can see my character has to do the bounce but the cube I throw in to show you this does not. 

Thanks for any help.
The shape keys were pined I found this in my search: Unable to edit the meshes for shape keys

It now works.
