 Recently, I found an issue at WP 4.0


 In a project there was many Custom Post Types, each one of them for a
 specific area of the site. The user should publish his posts in respective
 CPTs, as WP always worked.

 But, after the user click at "Publish/Update" button, gets as result a
 "Notification Confirmation" browser alert, asking if the user desires to
 leave or stand at that page. Well, if user press "leave this page" button
 the post all post is going to be saved.

 I found what makes that non-sense window runs.
 The "Publish/Update" button has 3 classes, one of them is "primary-
 button".
 In that case, there was a Welcome Panel with a anchor tag, with "primary-
 button" class. When i removed that class, everything worked fine. If i
 return it, the message will come back.

 That's seriously weird!
 If a developer wants to use the same styles as "Publish/Update" button, he
 only would need to use the same class, that's a "principle of html".
 However, he will get that problem. For some reason, the publication/update
 process has something related with the class "primary-button", when it
 already has an id called "publish".


 This could be changed.
 The publication/update process should be related with an unique element of
 the page, in this case, the id="publish". So, developers could use the
 same style for their buttons in dashboard page, and, wouldn't receive
 those "Notification Confirmation" alerts.

 For a dev, that's not a problem. But guess when a normal user, our
 customers, for example see that message in action. They think their sites
 aren't working well.
