Describe the Bug

When you open a page with images in edit mode and save without making any change, BookStack creates a new version/revision, even tho the page is the same as before.

I guess it's linked to WYSIWYG or page complexity.

Steps to Reproduce

Open a page with images
Go into edit mode (in classic WYSIWYG)
Don't touch anything, just save
Go into revisions
You can see a new revision as been created

Expected Behaviour

No new version/revision should be created since the page did not change.

Screenshots or Additional Context

It's not always the case, but in long pages I'm able to reproduce it consistently.

Browser Details

Firefox 148.0.2 (64 bits), windows 11 Build 26200.8037

Exact BookStack Version

v26.03.1

Confirmed, been seeing this since I started using Bookstack a few years back.

@ssddanbrown I fixed it, and tested it locally, hope it's ok for you.
I created a PR for you, I can't assign people on it so I'm pinging you :)
