Description

Expected behavior

When you click a page it will open the editor with the page's contents. A solution #11413 was created that partially fixes this but the error still exists in some cases.

Actual behavior

Sometimes, when the pages aren't fully loaded in the Page List, the pageId/postId is out of sync so it cant be found. More details on this in the issue here #11339

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Go to My Site.
  2. Go to Page List.
  3. Click on a page really quickly, as soon as a post appears and realize at times it doesn't open.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the rapid-click behavior in the Page List on the develop branch, then read the related fixes and context in issues #11413 and #11339. Done means clicking a page while the list is still loading consistently opens that page's contents rather than an empty editor.
