Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Replying to [ticket:56423 RBM7777]:
 > Having the URL change whenever the a page or post Title changes is a
 major hazard.You can say "works as designed"; but this is not a good
 design - people can edit a Title and get an unexpected URL change,
 breaking links and requiring re-direction of the accidental URL.

 In my testing, the slug only changes on title edit for drafts, not for
 published posts. Changing it for published posts was previously discussed
 in #35352 but decided against and never implemented, exactly to avoid
 breaking existing links.

 Does the issue still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme
 (Twenty Twenty-Two) activated? Could you provide the steps to reproduce it
 on a clean install?
