User without the ability to publish are unable to edit post status

[NathanAtmoz]

If a user is able to edit a post but unable to publish a post, they can change the post status from the wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=post_type page using the quick edit dropdown feature. However, if the user goes to the wp-admin/post.php?post=ID&action=edit page, they are unable to edit the post status.

User who are able to edit post_type should be able to do so from the post edit page.

Thanks for reporting and creating a patch!

The patch would need updating, and it addresses the meta box in Classic Editor.
