getEditedPostAttribute("content") doesn't return edited content of published posts

[IreneStr]

Issue Overview

getEditedPostAttribute("content") doesn't return the most up-to-date version of the content when called on a published post.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a published post (or write a new post and hit 'publish')
2. Make some changes in the content. Do not hit 'update'
3. Call wp.data.select("core/editor").getEditedPostAttribute("content") in your console.
4. See that the latest changes are not reflected in the returned content.

Expected Behavior

getEditedPostAttribute("content") should return the most up-to-date version of the content.

Current Behavior

When I edit a published post and call wp.data.select("core/editor").getEditedPostAttribute("content") in the console, the returned content is not the latest version. When I hit update, and try again, I do get the most recent version.

NB: when I do the same on a draft, I do get the most recent version either way.

What version or commit are you running? I could imagine prior to #4955 & #5071 the content attributes specifically could fall behind in updates.

Running master and your steps to reproduce, I am receiving the expected content in the console.

Hi,
I had the same issue as @IreneStr only when the post is not yet saved (or published )

@lebleut Could you provide more information on specific reproducible steps, what you're seeing, and what you're expecting to see?
