16513	Editing a page sets $current_screen->post_type to 'post'	markjaquith		"Install this:

{{{
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Write Page Load
Author: Mark Jaquith
*/

function cws_write_page_load_admin_init() {
	add_action( 'load-post-new.php', 'cws_write_page_load' );
	add_action( 'load-post.php',     'cws_write_page_load' );
}

add_action( 'admin_init', 'cws_write_page_load_admin_init' );

function cws_write_page_load() {
	global $current_screen;
	echo ""<br /><br />""; // Grr, admin bar
	var_dump( $current_screen);
}

}}}

Go to new page screen. It properly outputs this:

{{{
object(stdClass)#159 (6) { [""id""]=> string(4) ""page"" [""base""]=> string(4) ""post"" [""action""]=> string(3) ""add"" [""post_type""]=> string(4) ""page"" [""is_network""]=> bool(false) [""is_user""]=> bool(false) }
}}}

Edit an existing page. It outputs this:

{{{
object(stdClass)#159 (6) { [""id""]=> string(4) ""post"" [""base""]=> string(4) ""post"" [""action""]=> string(0) """" [""post_type""]=> string(4) ""post"" [""is_network""]=> bool(false) [""is_user""]=> bool(false) }
}}}

That seems wrong. {{{$_GET['post_type']}}} is not set, so it seems to fall back to ""post"""	defect (bug)	closed	normal		General	3.0	normal	duplicate
