I think I may have found a bug, but before I put it in trac, I thought I'd see what you all thought. Is this a bug or a "feature."
If you throw the following code into a file and put it in mu-plugins, and go to edit a page and click on "screen options" in the upper right corner, you'll see that you can now toggle on/off the visibility of the "publish" meta box. In the code, it looks like the on/off toggle for the publish box should always be hidden. I've narrowed it down to a plugin adding a meta box in the "advanced" context. If you add it in the "normal" context it doesn't happen.
Thoughts?
<?php
add_action('admin_menu', 'cets_add_test');
function cets_add_test() {
add_meta_box('cets_meta_test', 'CETS Meta Test', 'cets_meta_test', 'page', 'advanced'); // advanced/normal can go here...
}
function cets_meta_test() {
//do something here
echo ('This is just a test.');
}
?>
