Comment:

 This seems to be a legitimate pair of bugs with the classic editor.

 Gutenberg implemented a custom flow for the publishing actions that avoids
 both of the issues about to be described.

 Starting with a new, currently privately published post, setting the
 status of the post to be public immediately updates the UI to show it in a
 way suggesting the post is posted publicly. WordPress should not reflect
 in the text the changes until those changes are saved.

 Issues displayed in video:
 1. A privately published post when the visibility is changed to public,
 has the text updated to reflect that it is publicly published before it is
 saved.
 2. When a privately published post has the visibility changed to public
 and the status chang dropdown active and clicks on Cancel, the status is
 changed to a null string.
