What?

Closes #75868

Why?

When a user returns to a post and the editor discovers that there is a more recent auto-save version than the version the user is on, the block editor displayes a warning on top of the screen with the link
"View the autosave". The URL points to the old screens at /wp-admin/revision.php?revision=xxxx

How?

setCurrentRevisionId() is used instead of using the url from settings.autosave.editLink

Testing Instructions

  1. Open a post in browser window.
  2. Make changes to the post.
  3. Don't save.
  4. Open a different browser
  5. open the same post in the block editor.
  6. That should display the autosave warning.

Thanks for this! The same fix landed in #79947 (now in use-autosave-notice.js, with a fallback for when visual revisions are disabled and an e2e test), so this PR no longer applies on trunk. Closing as superseded — thanks again for catching it.
