I am using standalone in my document to save some compilation time while working on pgfplots plots.
Now there is one plot, that shows a very strange behavior with includestandalone. It has worked for a long time but since last week this and only this plot out of 25 other plots stopped to work with \includestandalone when included in the main file. There is no error message coming up, the plot just does not show up. Including the tikzpicture into the main file will work without any problem and compiling the standalone file on its own will also work with no error.
The log-file says:
Package standalone Warning: Sub-preamble of file 'Image.tex' has changed. Content will be ignored. Please rerun LaTeX!
on input line 11.
After the sixth rerun nothing changed. Is this a bug or a feature? Or am I doing something wrong? I am using MikTex 2.9_6618 up to date and compiling with lualatex
I found this standalone package, with its subpreambles option, ignores content of a standalone input file if it contains accents in glossary entry but since I am not using glossaries or inputenc the solution did not help me.
Here is the picture:

I checked it with the version on CTAN as well and it makes no difference.
standalone.sty 2015/07/15 v1.2 Package to include TeX sub-files with preambles
Here is the .sta file:

cfigureis not standard and most people probably don't have aImages/Vektorgrafik/StromSpannung/StromSpannung.texfile. We also don't know what's in the picture, because only you haveseries_c.csv.\end{document}. The picture I get is not very interesting, but it is clearly a picture and not, say, nothing. It gets more interesting if I delete the blank lines in the.csvfile. Not much, but a bit more. Still there, though. Works with eitherpdflatexorlualatexas compiler.standalone? You can add\listfilesto get a list of files and versions to post for comparison purposes.
