Drawers close on autosave operation (new 3.44)

[cgilly2fast]

Describe the Bug

When opening a document through a drawer (such as from a join field relationship) where the target collection has autosave enabled, any save operation immediately closes the drawer. This occurs even when the document status is draft and happens on every draft update triggered by the autosave functionality.

The issue affects:

• Join field drawers opening autosave-enabled collections
• Custom drawers opening autosave-enabled collections
• Any drawer context where autosave collections are edited

The drawer closes unexpectedly on each autosave interval, making it impossible to edit documents in drawer contexts when autosave is enabled.

1. Seed the database with the website template data.
2. Go to post and your user as an author
3. Go to the user profile page
4. Open the post in the join field added to the user collection
5. Any autosave will close the drawer

As an antidote. I have a custom drawer with an onSave that closes the drawer, I used the onSave props to filter out calling closeDrawer when doc['_status'] === 'draft' so that stopped the drawer from closing on every autosave but it would still trigger the payload loading screen and reset the view to the top of the drawer document.

Hey @cgilly2fast thanks for logging this. I was able to validate. We've got a similar issue on our radar with autosave collapsing blocks while you're editing. We'll get someone on it!
