Steps to reproduce issue:

1. Create a new site
2. Add a page to the site
3. Activate local live staging for the site
   • Ensure that page versioning is enabled
4. Save staging configurations
5. Navigate to the page
6. Add a portlet onto the page

Expected result: Portlet loads, and the portlet's data-qa-id attribute has a value of "app-loaded", and page is not refreshed.
Actual result: When the portlet is moved onto the page, the page is refreshed, and the portlet no longer has an attribute "data-qa-id", and the portlet loads.

Note: When page variations is not enabled, the page is not refreshed when a widget is added to a page (even though staging is enabled).
