    Description

      Documentation states:

      Variants are displayed under the original page but they are not children. They are copies. Variants don't inherit inheritable components from the original page, for example.

      To see the issue, look at the footer on this page: https://demo.magnolia-cms.com/.magnolia/admincentral#app:pages:detail;/travel/variants/variant-0:edit
      You can see it's doubled. Because when the variant was created the footer was copied. But it's also inheriting from the original travel page.

      If we look at the page from public there is no issue: See https://demopublic.magnolia-cms.com/travel/variants/variant-0

      So in the end we don't see the doubling presented to the client, but it's confusing for the editor. The documentation implies that the copied footer would "take precedence", one could assume, but it's not clear.
