[wp-testers] Posts Don't Publish Via XML-RPC

[Kirk M]

Just for comparison purposes, I'm using the latest version of Windows 
Live Writer Beta as my main blog editor which also publishes using 
XML-RPC. I often "post as draft" and what you're seeing is not occurring 
when using WLW. ScribeFire might be sending some sort of incorrect data 
when posting as draft that isn't agreeing with 2.7. It wouldn't be the 
first time that's ever happened. I've used it off and on since it was 
called PFF and it's often gone funky on me.

There's a recently updated version of ScribeFire (3.1.5). I load it up 
into FX 3.1 (nightly builds) later on today and see if I get the same 
thing you're seeing.
