Contributors can't easily view others' posts in a certain term

[nacin]

As a contributor, the default tab is 'Me', not 'All'. But you can go to 'All' and see a list of all posts.

At that time, you can also search for posts, and filter by category, date, etc. Those all work fine. You can also filter by category or tag by clicking a term in those columns, but this doesn't work -- all_posts=1 gets removed, and you end up seeing the 'Me' tab again.

You can manually append all_posts=1, but there's no way to actually filter by term viewing all posts via the UI.

Interestingly, the author query var works. That'd be bad if it didn't. But it doesn't append all_posts=1, so it's done internally.

This bug report sounds like you wrote it at 6:30 in the morning... which you did.

I can't win.

15784.patch seems to resolve this issue by adding all_posts => 1 to the add_query_arg() call if isset( $_REQUESTall_posts? ).

slightly modified approach

Based on discussion in irc, I've added in 15784.2.patch a slightly modified approach that uses post_status=all instead of checking for all_posts=1 in the url. Seems to have the same result, and the patch is a teensy bit simpler.
