path always shows up as being changed when using comment_driven_path to expose the path as a driven property while having pathauto taking care of automated aliasing

this is NOT a bug, neither requires "more support" or anything

having pathauto playing together with comment_driven_path is NOT an issue, and it is supported indeed
what might fail is interpretation of the displayed diff summary

the displayed diff summary shows changes regarding the path property as it was "driven through the comment"

  • if automatic alias checkbox is unchecked it will behave the same as not having pathauto at all
  • if automatic alias is checked the exposed property will be blank on submission (as it does for natural pathauto behavior) and therefore displayed as a "comment driven change" while the alias will be created as a "pathauto driven change" which is unrelated to the change of the property through a comment

If the resulting effect is undesired I would recommend not exposing path property as a comment driven one for those content types having automatic pathauto aliasing
nevertheless, if the diff summary is properly interpreted it might be useful to know whether the path was actually driven through the comment or left to its natural node_form flow
