Same problem here. Has this been fixed yet?
Otto42, Preview button and the old View Post action are not on my version (WP 2.7.1). The web address of the preview is different, appearing in the browser. Right after I hit Publish, I want a link to the regular permalink, the exact page the public sees. That’s what “View Post” used to do before this unfortunate change.
Off to look for a better thread…. anyone know if this has been discussed elsewhere?
