Comment:
Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.
Replying to [ticket:56423 RBM7777]:
> Having the URL change whenever the a page or post Title changes is a
major hazard.You can say "works as designed"; but this is not a good
design - people can edit a Title and get an unexpected URL change,
breaking links and requiring re-direction of the accidental URL.
In my testing, the slug only changes on title edit for drafts, not for
published posts. Changing it for published posts was previously discussed
in #35352 but decided against and never implemented, exactly to avoid
breaking existing links.
Does the issue still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme
(Twenty Twenty-Two) activated? Could you provide the steps to reproduce it
on a clean install?
