Parent page of a page is not kept when saved as draft then published

[korsani]

Write a page (page1)
Write an other page (page2). Make that page parent of page1.
Save it as draft.
Then publish it: clic on publish, change the published date, then publish.
The parent page of page2 is not page1 anymore

Aaah... f*
I tried to reproduce, I failed. Bug showed when I wrote the ticket. But since, I took an other computer (so have to log in again to my blog) and bug disappeared.
I think it shows when I'm logged to my blog for too long (I was logged for 2 days when bug appeared).
I'll try to investigate on my side...

Reproduction Report

Steps to Reproduce or Test

1. Add a Page 1 and publish.
2. Add a Page 2, set its Parent as Page 1 (in Page Attributes), and then save as Draft.
3. Publish Page 2.
4. Change Page 2's publish date to a date before Page 1.
5. Check if Page 2's parent is still set to Page 1. 🐞 Reported bug occurs.

Expected Results

When reproducing a bug:

• ❌ Error condition occurs.

Environment

• OS: Sonoma 14.4.1
• Web Server: Nginx
• PHP: 8.3.0
• WordPress: 6.5.2
• Browser: Chrome 124.0.6367.92
• Theme: Twenty Twenty-Four
• Active Plugins: None

Actual Results

• ✅ Page 2's parent remains unchanged, i.e. stays as Page 1. Works for me.

❌ Unable to reproduce the reported issue.

Note:
If the parent, i.e. Page 1, is changed to draft mode, it no longer appears in the Parent field of the Post 2. But once it's republished, it does reappear in the Parent field for Page 2. This is by design.
