Description

If I select multiple draft "rewrite & republish" posts in list view and bulk edit them to change the status to publish it appears to only update one of the posts, then redirects to the original (now updated) post for that rewrite.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in WordPress list view with multiple draft “rewrite & republish” posts, then trace the bulk-edit flow and its redirect; done means every selected post receives the publish status and the operation does not redirect to only the original post.
