Description
When a post is saved as a draft, the main publish box shows a "Preview" button. The URL for the preview button is http://site.com/?p=149&preview=true.
Next to the post's permalink, however, is a "View" button. The URL for this button is http://site.com/?p=149 and is missing the &preview=true parameter.
Also in the toolbar is a "View" button that's identical to the "View" button next to the permalink. It also has a URL of http://site.com/?p=149.
Since the post is a draft, it seems logical that all of the buttons should all be "Preview" or "Preview Post" and should all have the &preview=true parameter.
Having the buttons next to the permalink and the toolbar show "View Post" is just confusing when the post is a draft. I've caught myself several times thinking "oh, did I publish this by accident?" when seeing the "View Post" buttons.

Replying to SergeyBiryukov:
The docblock should just be
/** This filter is documented in wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php */.
Aha! I was wondering what the proper method was for that, thanks! Updated patch attached.

28350-3.patch updates the tool bar to show Preview instead of View if the current item is a draft and the current user can read it.

28350.4.patch uses a consistent target for all three links to avoid opening multiple tabs with the same preview.

The standard "Preview Changes" button actually submits a form to ensure you are previewing the latest changes. This new "Preview" button does not do this, which is why it was always just "View Post".
The docblock should just be
/** This filter is documented in wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php */.
