IntelliJ 2017.5: When building for android, I have to restart IntelliJ to get changes to my LibGDX project to take effect

Both "Recompile Player.java" (a class that has an obviously visible line to change) and "Rebuilt Project" do not seem to rebuild things -- running my application after using either of those does not pick up the changes I made. Quitting IntelliJ and starting it up again does cause the changes to be picked up.

Interestingly, the changes do appear to take effect immediately when I build for desktop, but my primary target is android right now, so I would like to get it working.

It was working correctly a few days ago. At the time that the misbehavior started, I was running 2017.3.

The things I have tried: * upgrading to 2017.5 * updating system and rebooting * uninstalling IntelliJ (removing from the /opt directory), and reinstalling 2017.3 * removing the .idea and .gradle directories from my project directory and then importing the project folder again

I've honestly been having a hard time finding the right google terms for trying to resolve this, and I'm coming up short. I don't think this is due to libgdx since I had a similar problem on occasion (but not always) on Android Studio in the past.
