"View World in Public Presentation Mode" 404s - Uses article title in the URL

Upon naming or renaming an article, the View World in Presentation option in the sidebar will point to /w/ARTICLE-TITLE instead of the correct World URL. Renaming the article updates the bad URL to the new title. Using the button will lead to a 404 page. A page refresh is needed to fix it.   It's as if the mechanism to update the View Article button in the bottom menu is also modifying the View World button in the sidebar.   Happening on Vivaldi browser (chromium-based).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Either create a new article & name it, or open an existing article & rename it.
  2. Make sure the article title saved.
  3. Hover over the View World button in the left sidebar. It will incorrectly point to /w/ARTICLE-TITLE and will lead to a 404 page if opened.
  4. Refresh the page and it will be correct again.

Hey Those2Nerds, we have deployed a fix tha should resolve this issue and not update the view world link with the updated article - can you please try again and confirm if this is now working as expected?

It looks to be fixed! I tested creating an article, renaming an article, and general editing and the View World button retained its correct URL.
