No publish button

[maddisondesigns]

Issue Overview

I tried creating a new Page to test something. I entered a title and pasted in three paragraphs of text.

I went to Publish the page but there's no Publish button. Only a Schedule... button.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create new page
2. Enter page title
3. Try and click the publish button

Expected Behavior

There should be a Publish button

Current Behavior

No Publish button

Gutenberg 2.5.0
Firefox Quantum 59.0.2 (64-bit)
WP 4.9.4

As a side note: Even after saving as a draft, the button remains as Schedule... instead of turning into an Update button

This normally happens, if you publish date is in the future. The Classic editor has the same behavior.

[maddisondesigns]

I wasn't trying to Publish in the future. The Schedule... button only appears (or should only appear) if you specifically set a future date, which I didn't. I simply tried to create a new page.

I'm seeing this too. To reproduce, simply open a new Post or Page and note that the Publish... button says Schedule....

The button's behaviour appears to work as expected, but its label is incorrect. In order to get the button to say Publish... you need to change the post date to something prior to the current day.

@jorgefilipecosta, is it related to your latest changes in #5767 and test removal #5858?

[jorgefilipecosta]

Yes @gziolo, It may be related to the changes, but I'm not being able to reproduce, maybe it's a timezone related problem.
@maddisondesigns and @johnbillion thank you for reporting this issue, could you please share your time zone? (as it relates to dates it may happen just in some time zones)

[johnbillion]

My timezone is set to Europe/London.

[Soean]

Berlin is UTC+2

• If I select Berlin as Timezone I see the Schedule button
• If I select UTC+2 I see the Publish button

Same in both settings:
Universal time (UTC) is 2018-03-29 14:52:14.
Local time is 2018-03-29 16:52:14.

Thank you @Soean and @johnbillion this information was very useful!
I'm now able to reproduce the problem. If we select a city as the time zone of the website the problem happens if we select a UTC version the problem does not happen. I will submit a fix soon.

[maddisondesigns]

Looks like you don't need it anymore, but my timezone is set to Australia/Melbourne

Thank you all for the reporting and debugging, a fix for this was merged #5916 and should be available in the next release.
