'Unpublished changes' icon never goes away

I’m currently working on an Umbraco 16.4.1 website and there is something weird about the site. On quite a number of pages, there is a ‘unpublished changes‘ icon present:

No matter what I do, this icon will not go away. I tried all kinds of saving and publishing, but the icon is still there.

I mean, the last action is save and publish. I also tried to save and publish all languages in case you are wondering.

It’s not all pages, but there are enough pages to consider this as a serious problem. It’s also not a case of specific content types where it doesn’t work. For instance, here you see some content types where some are good and some aren’t.

I’m going to dig into this, but I was wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone? I haven’t found an issue about this on GitHub, but at the moment I cannot reproduce it, so I can’t create an issue yet myself.

Yes, same issue here. I did not dig much into this also but it seems to me that is something related to Block Grid/Block List properties on the document type.
I’m on v17 but upgraded from v16.

@nelsonc , I created an issue and the cause has been found: Edited flag gets stuck or inconsistent on invariant block list on variant doctype · Issue #21223 · umbraco/Umbraco-CMS · GitHub
