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

[Jeff Chandler]

I'm using ScribeFire and the built in support for XML-RPC.  Their are 
two weird things going on and they are related. If I select the option 
to publish the post as a draft, when I login to WordPress and edit the 
draft, the Publish button will not be displayed and instead, it's 
replace with a SCHEDULE button. If I save the post and play around with 
the settings, I can get the SCHEDULE button to be replaced with the 
PUBLISH button.

Just 5 minutes ago, I published the post bypassing the draft option from 
scribefire. When I logged into the WordPress backend, the publish button 
was gone an the post somehow was scheduled to be published. When I 
clicked on the EDIT link to edit the post status, all I can choose is 
SCHEDULED, PENDING, or DRAFT.

I've clicked on the EDIT link and have reset the time for when the post 
was scheduled and when I did that and then saved the changes, the post 
status went to PUBLISHED.

This seems like really weird behavior to me and I'm not sure if it's the 
fault of WordPress, The XML-RPC or ScribeFires interaction with WP2.7.
