This is quite hacky – router does not re-render the route when clicking on an already active link because its data is based on the document.location. To bypass this, we need to pass an extra value in the location’s state object that will let us know we should reload. And for similar reasons, it cannot just be a boolean (or we would have to clear the state each time to be able to tell when the value changes again) so we are back at increasing counters. Unfortunately, that is not end of it since any navigation would clear the state, triggering another reload so we also need to use another counter that only increases when the counter in location state increases. Fixes: #1287
And also on cancelling editing.
It would clear the changes, potentially leading to data loss. One can still reset the changes by cancelling the editing and clicking edit again.
when they have a route associated.
