 **Issue Summary:
 **
 In WordPress version 6.8.2, the Block Editor does not immediately reflect
 updated content in a Paragraph block after subsequent edits and saves.
 While the post content is correctly updated on the front end, the editor
 view displays stale content until the editor is refreshed. This creates a
 confusing and misleading authoring experience.

 **Steps to Reproduce:**

 Install WordPress 6.8.2 (clean environment; no plugins; default theme such
 as Twenty Twenty-Three).

 Create or open an existing post in the Block Editor.

 Insert a Paragraph block and type some text.

 Click Update or Save.

 Edit the same block again by modifying the text.

 Click Update a second time.

 Observe the Paragraph block content in the editor immediately after
 saving.

 **Expected Behavior:**

 The editor should reflect the latest saved content instantly without
 requiring a manual page reload.

 **Actual Behavior:**

 After saving the post, the edited Paragraph block continues to display the
 previous content. The front-end reflects the new content, but the editor
 UI does not update until the page is refreshed.

 **Environment:**

 WordPress Version: 6.8.2

 PHP Version: 7.4.33 (tested)

 Browser(s): Chrome (v117), Firefox (v120), Edge (v116)

 Theme: Twenty Twenty-Three

 Plugins: None (clean install)

 JavaScript Console: No errors recorded

 Network Requests: All API requests return 200 OK with updated content
 payload

 **Additional Notes:**

 This issue appears intermittently, more commonly when multiple Paragraph
 blocks are edited in sequence.

 The problem does not occur in the Classic Editor.

 This behavior is likely related to block-level state not rehydrating
 correctly post-save.

 **Reference URL:**

 This issue is not currently tracked on Trac, but is similar in nature to
 editor UI discrepancies noted in previous tickets such as:
