I recently updated to 1.8.1 arduino ide w/teensyduino. I noticed that the serial ports don't get refreshed if they are newly created. It's a pain for troubleshooting bluetooth, since I often need to reconnect the bluetooth device (ie /dev/rfcomm1).
arduino ide 1.6.8 and prior definitely do refresh the serial port so you can see it in the list when it's available.
I don't know if it's the same for windows.
