I’m not sure if this is a bug, but it certainly is an issue.  
A share URL changes layout based on the most recent layout the user who created the URL has viewed. This is a problem for entities that are linked to records we want to keep private, but Fibery is assuming should be shared (a separate issue).  
My use case: Positions in the Hiring space have a public url. Positions are also linked to all applications. I do not however, want anyone viewing the description publicly to see all linked candidates. I have a public entity layout. It just shows the rich text field with the description.

Public sharing was implemented before multiple entity views, so unfortunately, the current behaviour is as you described.  
Furthermore, Fibery permissions in general have evolved since public sharing was implemented, and we do have plans to modify how public sharing works, to hopefully resolve issues like this.

[Fixed last week](https://community.fibery.io/t/october-30-2025-share-entities-to-web-using-access-templates-new-names-for-access-levels-improved-file-fields-support-in-automations/9924)

Public entity views are now independent of who shared them.
