Comment:

 An updated post title of a published post does not change the slug on
 purpose. Why? To avoid 404s when the original URL is made. If the post
 slug needs to be updated, it can be done manually. But then the original
 slug and its URL will need to be considered too, ie possibly adding a
 redirect to point it to the new slug.

 I'm closing this ticket as the behavior is as expected and it's been over
 4 years since it was marked for `close`.
