 After update my WordPress core to 5.6.1 I noticed that whenever I click
 anywhere on the page when I reload or try to change the page the Chrome
 alert which says that the modifications we did might not be saved.

 Before it happened when I really was modifying something on the form. But
 now even if I click on the grey background where there's nothing I get the
 alert.

 It's on the edit post page of any Post Type. Not happening on the
 Taxonomies, nor medias, nor anywhere else I think.

 It's annoying when you navigate a lot, you always have to confirm the
 alert.

 I reverted to WordPress 5.6 and I no longer had the bug. Going back again
 to 5.6.1 the bug comes back, and so on.
