Description

When composing a new draft, the Preview and Save Draft buttons are too close together.

​https://cloudup.com/cWuwqdbTxKU

In 3.7.1 the Save Draft button is on the left (​https://cloudup.com/cDntyDGADRF), so I moved it back.

Patch to move the Save Draft button back to left

I also offered up maybe another alternative, putting the buttons left aligned because I didn't like how Preview (when published) seemed to be right aligned. Also moved the spinner.

Just see Attachment alterative-save-draft.patch ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/26081/alterative-save-draft.patch

Doesn't look weird to me :) Looked the same in 3.7, so I guess I'd prefer 26081.patch​.

FWIW I actually like the Preview and Save Draft buttons being right aligned next to each other. I think it's an improvement. They just need a small margin between them.

I personally think any button being fully right aligned looks out of place with the rest of the box. I think it should at least resemble 3.7 (some symmetry with the Move to Trash and Publish buttons ​https://cloudup.com/cQuGv57XGpK). Even my alternative doesn't seem to be as symmetrical ​https://cloudup.com/crqPhw9urr9, but I just like symmetrical and left aligned more. I still vote for the 3.7 likeness.

...just in case the world is against me :)

I believe this was an unintentional change, and agree with the logic behind "Safe Draft" being left-aligned. Since the redesign's goal was a visual overhaul while minimizing UX changes, I'm going to go with the patch that puts Safe Draft back in its original location.

Put the 'Safe Draft' button back in its place in the Publish box. Fixes #26081, props aubreypwd.
