Observed on the react-minimal demo in this project: https://git.magnolia-cms.com/projects/DEMOS/repos/minimal-headless-spa-demos/browse

On a page with variants, the "Page Variant Switcher" select box at the bottom of the page does not work - it shows the current variant, but you cannot change the variant with it.

To reproduce:

• In the pages app browser - Select a SPA page. (Like "react-minimal")
• Add a page variant and give it a name - like "Hats"
• Open the "Hats" variant for editing."
• Use the Page Variant to switch to "Original"

Expected: It switches to the "Original" page variant.

Result: The page reloads to the same variant ("hats") and the switcher control also flicks back to "Hats".

The same thing happens if from the browser one opens the Original page. In the Page edigtor, if one tries to switch to a variant, the page reloads to the original and the switcher switches back.

Workaround:

Simply open the variant you are interested in from the Browser.
