    I’m getting something very similar. Every time I save a page, before I move away from the page I get the pop-up ‘Are you sure you want to leave this page?’
    I *am certain* this is caused by this plugin because when I deactivate it the problem disappears.
    This has started since WP 5.6.1

    We’ve also started having this issue after updating to WP 5.6.1

    Have seen the same problem on post types that would use Gutenberg by default, but are being replaced by the Classic Editor (eg: posts and pages). Custom post types which don’t rely on the Classic Editor don’t have the issue. If I Turn off the Classic Editor, and just use Gutenberg, the issue goes away.

    WP version: 5.6.x

    Same issue here. Only on pages for me. Doesn’t affect posts a of yet. Cannot leave any edit page without getting the “This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave – data you have entered may not be saved.” prompt. It does seem to save but it is annoying.

    I have the same issue with three different themes. I deactivated all of my plugins and went one-by-one to conclude that THIS plugin is the one causing the error.

    Would really like this resolved because I hate using Gutenberg.
