Description
Steps to reproduce:
Open a big file and a small file. I did it with Padre/Wx/Main?.pm (big) and Wx/Perl/Dialog?.pm (small.)
Select Main.pm tab, then (quickly!) select Dialog.pm tab.
The outline for Dialog.pm is displayed, then after a while, the outline for Main.pm replaces it.
I would guess that the Main.pm outline calculation takes longer to complete than the Dialog.pm outline calculation, and when it finishes, it doesn't bother to check whether Main.pm is still the open tab.
This is related to #538, I'd guess.

It also happens when opening files or creating new ones - the outline or function list isn't updated as long as you switch tabs.

I can reproduce this.
It is because the computation of the outline tree is a Task that is started when
the document is switched or (after a certain interval) when the file has changed.
If you switch in the mean time, the task will finish its work nonetheless and
show the computed data.
