Comment:

 Hi there, thanks for testing WordPress with PHP 8.0!

 Does the issue still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme
 (Twenty Twenty-One) activated?

 The warning comes from the
 `_wp_privacy_settings_filter_draft_page_titles()` function, which is
 attached to the `list_pages` action in the admin, called from
 `Walker_PageDropdown::start_el()`. The action is supposed to always
 receive a valid page data object a its second argument, so it looks like
 some plugin or theme constructs an object with some properties missing, or
 uses the `list_pages` filter incorrectly, which seems like a developer
 error.

 I don't think we should hide the warning in this case, as that would make
 debugging harder.
