"Updating" label and post_modified ahead by one second when a metabox exists on Post Editor #59136

Open asadkn opened 7 months ago

Description

When a new post is Published, and any metabox is registered (whether by a plugin or a theme), the post_modified is sporadically one second ahead of normal post date.

Also I am not sure if related, but "Updating.." is also shown briefly on clicking Publish (Chrome browser). I am not sure of the workflow or relevance, but this affects some auto-poster social media plugins too which will post twice.

This is a difficult issue to replicate as it only happens sometimes (I am not sure if it matters but slowing down in performing the steps below might be a trigger). I have replicated this locally and on remote test environments.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Steps to recreate:

  1. Install a default theme (I tested with Twenty Twenty-One). Test on Chrome browser.
  2. Add a sample metabox to the functions.php file: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/metadata/custom-meta-boxes/#oop
  3. Go to Posts > Add New Post.
  4. Check the wp_posts table with phpMyAdmin. post_modified will be one second ahead of post_date.

To reiterate, this happens sporadically so 5-6 tests (or sometimes with a pause) might be needed before you see it or it may happen on the first try.
