 The "Restore This Autosave" button on the revisions screen immediately
 replaces the post with the autosave without making it clear that that is
 the case.

 Steps to reproduce:

  1. Publish a post.
  2. Edit the content of the post and trigger an autosave (either by
 waiting two minutes or by clicking the 'Preview Changes' button).
  3. Navigate away from the post editing screen.
  4. Return to the post editing screen and note the message stating "There
 is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below".
 Click "View the autosave".
  5. On the revisions screen, click "Restore This Autosave".
  6. Note that the autosave has been published rather than simply being
 restored to the editing screen.
