Bug description:
  When doing the following scenario the display of a page can be
  adversely affected

  1) Have a collection of pages that were made before the new grid
  layout was added, eg before September 2019, that don't have navigation
  blocks in them. A good test is to have an image block on each page.

  2) Go to edit one of the pages - it should prompt you to convert the
  page to the new grid layout - choose the 'Accept' option

  3) Add a navigation block to the page and set 'Add to all pages' to
  'Yes'

  4) Save the block

  Now go view the collection - the page you edited should look normal
  but the other pages will now be missing all blocks except the
  Navigation one

  Luckily the data is not deleted but just that the new navigation block
  for those pages has been saved as a block with new grid layout
  information so the page is rendered as a new layout page.

  What we need to do is save the navigation block onto the pages in old
  layout way so that it all displays again as expected.
