Version	2.6.6

Summary

When I call $unitOfWork->getScheduledEntityUpdates() in an onFlush subscriber, I expect to get the entity with its relations calculated, but I am getting an old state of that entity in my case

How to reproduce

In my controller I have:

        $media = new Media();
        $media->setName('M1');
        $em->persist($media);
        $em->flush();

        $journalist = new Journalist();
        $journalist->setName('J1');
        $em->persist($journalist);
        $em->flush();

        $jml = new JournalistMediaLink();
        $jml->setJournalist($journalist);
        $jml->setMedia($media);
        $em->persist($jml);
        $em->flush();

//        $em->clear();
//        $jml = $em->find(JournalistMediaLink::class, $jml->getId());

        $secondJournalist = new Journalist();
        $secondJournalist->setName('J2');
        $em->persist($secondJournalist);
        $em->flush();

        $jml->setJournalist($secondJournalist);

        dump($jml->getJournalist()->getName());  // Here I get 'J2' as expected

        $em->flush();

In my subscriber:

public function onFlush(OnFlushEventArgs $args)
{
...
        foreach ($unitOfWork->getScheduledEntityUpdates() as $entity) {
                if ($entity instanceof JournalistMediaLink) {
                    dump($entity->getJournalist()->getName());die; // Expecting to get 'J2' here
                }
...
}

As an output from the dumps, I expect to get:

J2
J2

But the output I get is:

J2
J1

NOTE: If I uncomment the 2 commented lines in the code above, I get the correct output that I expect.

Never mind.. turned out some other subscriber was calling $em->refresh() on the entity and messing it up
