Keep current URL domain for View Post on View Post link

[chamois_blanc]

Hello,

I am using BrowserSync to proxy my remote site to ​https://localhost:3000 on my local machine through ssh forwarding. I have noticed that the localhost domain name is reverted to my site real domain on the backend for the 'View Post' link, when updating a post using Gutenberg. This behavior does not happen with the classic editor.

It would be great if the 'View Post' link could retain the localhost domain on post update.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Run BrowserSync or equivalent as proxy
2) Open post for edit on backend on localhost domain
3) Check 'View Post' link, it should have localhost as domain
4) Click 'Update' or 'Publish'
5) Check 'View Post' link again and it will now have the site domain instead

Classifying as bug as the behavior deviates from what the classic editor does.

Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

Could it be because the View Post link in the block editor is updated dynamically, without a page reload? In the classic editor, clicking the Update button did cause a page reload.

That's very possible. Wondering if this is maybe a Gutenberg issue instead of WordPress core. Not sure how the two interact at this level.
