Django context processor : views does not reload

I built an application with Django that contains a certain number of views. I have to switch from one project to another which use the same views.

For this I used a context processor that returns the variables that change in a dictionnary. Then in all my views I return a context_instance=RequestContext(request)

My problem is that my views do not reload until I click a second time on the button "Change the project".

I don't know if I'm clear enough, but if someone could give me a hint on what is wrong here it would be great. I don't even know what piece of code would help understand the issue, so if you think you can help please ask !

EDIT

A sample of my context_processor

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.core.context_processors import csrf
from django.template import RequestContext

def display_select_proj(request):
if request.method == "POST" and (request.POST.get("action", "") == "OK"):
     form = SelectForm(request.POST, proj_id=request.session['proj'])
     if form.is_valid():
         p = form.save()
         request.session['proj'] = proj

         return {'my_variables': my_variables}

Context processor is not a proper place for such kind of logic, especially session modification. You should move it to middleware or view function.

Why your approach doesn't work: context processors just modify the context of template being rendered and are applied after your view function. See "When context processors are applied".
