Description

Expected behavior

A gutenberg post should not be marked with Local changes is the user doesn't make any edit to it.

Actual behavior

The post is marked with Local changes even if you just open and close the new gb-mobile editor.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  • Open a GB post
  • Don't make any changes
  • Tap back to go to the posts list
  • The "modified" version of the post is uploaded in bg.

Tested on https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/pull/8522
