• In WP 2.7, it seems to be too easy to accidentally make a post “Private”.

    It has happened to me twice and I’m not sure where I clicked it (because I didn’t mean to click it), either under Write New Post > Publish Module > Visibility settings, or under Quick Edit. I re-edit my posts a lot (like 50 times or more per post, adding info as I build it), so there are a lot of times I’m clicking Update Post in the Publish module area, or using Quick Edit (that cool new feature of 2.7), and both those areas have a Private checkbox or radiobutton.

    I realized that the post wasn’t showing up on the homepage anymore. That is how I realized it had gotten marked Private. Otherwise I would not have even noticed it, and the post would be effectively hidden from everyone.

    Anyone else?

    Never had this problem before WP 2.7, and I’m usually pretty aware of what I’m clicking. I feel like this is selecting the checkbox when I have clicked somewhere near but outside the checkbox on the same line, or something.
