What Happened?

In a new block I typed [[Some Page]], attempting to refer to a page named Some Page which already existed. Instead, a new page with that name was created.

Reproduce the Bug

My guess is that if I have a page Some Page that doesn't appear in the search index, then attempting to reference [[Some Page]] can create a new page instead of referring to the existing one.

Perhaps there is another way to check whether a page with the given name exists, which could be checked before an attempted page reference creates a new page.

I am able to reproduce this.

When creating a new page if you press Esc instead of clicking on + New page {{page name}} (see attached image)

it creates this condition.

You'll notice immediately if you've created the condition or not when clicking into the block ("editing" mode) you'll see the page reference instead of the page name (e.g. [[6a69cdb0-0027-4e40-8d4b-b735f10dab28]] instead of [[New Page]].

My guess in OP's case is that during page creation this bug condition was created and then only noticed when trying to reference the afore-created page.

Expected Behavior

Whether pages are created with or without explicitly clicking (or pressing Enter) on + New page {{page name}} it should either create the new page (if it doesn't exist) or reference the already existing page.
