Description

In the home widget with drafts, I sometimes see posts that have been published as drafts. Scrolling down to refresh the screen doesn't affect it and it remains like that. It fixes itself after several hours.

The screenshot is taken on March 18th, 7am. The post "Veronica..." was created and published from web on March 17th, 9pm.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the stale state in the home widget with drafts using a post published from the web, then check whether scrolling to refresh changes it. Done means a published post is not displayed as a draft and refreshing the screen updates the widget without waiting several hours.
