Edit Posts lists for contributors should not list drafts by other users

[mrmist]

The edit posts lists as a contributor currently lists posts made by other users e.g. admin that are in draft state.

I don't think that these posts should appear in the list. A "preview" link is also shown that then points to the non-existent (to the contributor) article because proper security applies to actually previewing, just not the list in admin.

Ok I've attached the hacky way of doing it - limits the edit posts screen.

What I'd liked to have done is to properly limit by author so that the post counts work, but even though the code is already there somewhere to list by author I can't figure out how it works.

menu.php alteration - fix initial view to user if they edit other posts.

change to includes\template 9710 rev to limit edit posts view

It looks like to fix the actual post counts list at the top it would need a seperate function similar to wp_count_posts that just counts the posts for a specific user, or counts based on editability rather than viewability.

Let's see if we can get the query sorted for 2.8.

alternatively, it could be desirable, in the sense that contributors might be working as a team and need to know what posts others are working on.

Punting to 2.9 due to feature freeze.

If they want to work as a team, you can give them author roles or higher. I don't think the contributors should be able to see these titles of the pending posts and comments.

This was changed to only show the titles of other users' drafts. Feel free to reopen if there's a consensus we should hide that too.
