Duplicate Initial Publishes #5841

Describe the Bug

This one might be specific to Arc browser, but I started creating a page, then moved the tab to a split view and continued writing it there, finished and saved that.

Not long after I opened the original tab, and saw the page in editing mode and thought oh I thought I already saved that, clicked save and now I have 2 duplicate Revision 1s, both say Initial publish, and I've lost the changes I made in split-view.

I can see the changes but I cannot revert them, probably because Bookstack thinks there are no prior revisions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. In a browser tab on Arc browser create a new page.
  2. Switch tab to another one with the reference material etc.
  3. Right-click the Bookstack tab and Open in split-view.
  4. Continue writing the page in split view and save the page.
  5. Go back to the original Bookstack tab (which shows the incomplete page in editing mode) and click save page.
  6. Observe the changes made in split-view are lost and the revisions do not allow you to recover them.

Expected Behaviour

I'd expect the second save to create a Revision 2 and allow me to revert to Revision 1 to recover my changes.
