Status-change on Preview

[Jeluda]

If a page is previewed the status changes to "Published (pending changes)" even though nothing on the page was changed, it was simply previewed.

Reproduction

If you're filing a bug, please describe how to reproduce it. Include as much
relevant information as possible, such as:

Bug summary

Specifics

Umbraco version: 7.14.0 and 7.15.2
Browser used: IE and Chrome

Steps to reproduce

1. Select a node in backoffice.
2. Check that status is "Published"
3. Click "Preview"
4. Close the preview-tab when it is done loading......

Expected result

Red frame
The node should not have the green dot indicating that it has changes that are not published.
Yellow frame
Status of the page should remain "Published" as that is the reality of the situation, there are no changes pending.
Blue frame
History should not be updated with a SAVE status. It was only previewed.

Actual result

See the red frame in screenshot.
The node has a green dot indicating that the node has unpublished changes even though that is not the case.
See the yellow frame in screenshot.
The status of the page has now changed from "Published" to "Published (pending changes), but there are no changes to the page, it was just previewed.
Blue frame
History says the node was SAVED.

Hmm, I thought we fixed this but apparently not 🙈

Make sure to follow the earlier issue about this: #4917

We save when we preview, it's always been that way, at least for many years.

@Shazwazza I just merged your PR to fix that, if there's nothing to save ;-)

Hiya @Jeluda,

Just wanted to let you know that we noticed that this issue got a bit stale and might not be relevant any more.

We will close this issue for now but we're happy to open it up again if you think it's still relevant (for example: it's a feature request that's not yet implemented, or it's a bug that's not yet been fixed).

To open it this issue up again, you can write @umbrabot still relevant in a new comment as the first line. It would be super helpful for us if on the next line you could let us know why you think it's still relevant.

For example:

@umbrabot still relevant
This bug can still be reproduced in version x.y.z

This will reopen the issue in the next few hours.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂
