Execution count cannot be cleaned even after "Clear All Outputs"

[XuShenLZ]

Applies To

• Notebooks (.ipynb files)
• Interactive Window and/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)

What happened?

After I clicked the "Clear All Outputs", some fields have the execution_count field set to null but some fields still have some number. This looks like #16052 and people claimed that it is fixed. However, it is still happening to me, creating a lot of unnecessary diffs when I try to commit.

It is very confusing that all kinds of behaviors can happen:

Set a cell without execution_count before to null, or change its value from one number to a new number:

Set a cell without execution_count before to either null or some number:

Set a cell with a number in execution_count before to null

I am running the notebook inside a Docker container.
