If I try to edit a post which I have just created, I get the following error:

`That post was edited by another user and your changes can no longer be saved`

eg:

The “Save Edit” button also renames itself to “Overwrite Edit”.

This has only started happening since I updated on Friday to “2.8.0.beta2” ( [4681c670c0](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/4681c670c0f8645459e007f881e49a5d5276eaf3) )

If it helps, I update weekly, so this is a new issue which has appeared between Friday 4th June 2021 and Friday 11th June 2021.

It happens here on meta too (as per my screen shot).

I cannot work out the pattern to it. It does not happen every time, just sometimes 🤔

Several of our users have reported this too.
