 Draft: Save button behavior should be consistent

 ENV: WP trunk r7080 2.5-beta1

 Currently, the first time you click save it reloads the post, and the next
 time it takes you back to a blank new post or to manage posts depending on
 what was your path to create/edit the draft post.

 A lot of people have complained about missing the Save & Continue button
 in trunk. When I ask them about their use case, it is that they have been
 trained to click the save button regularly while writing. The like and
 trust that experience, and it is frustrating that now, after that 2nd save
 they have any extra step to get back to their post.

 This is very natural habit, because we don't have high confidence in
 autosaves or applications not crashing.  Web apps with similar
 experiences, like web email for example, Save is an in place save, and
 Send (like Publish) is the completion (exit) of the task.

 I guess you can argue that for people that trust autosave, or only save
 when they are done that it is an extra step, but I think these people are
 currently in the minority, and

 There already are Related and I think it is better behavior to allow the
 person to explicitly leave editing when they want to.

 ADDITIONAL DETAILS

 Possible solution: Save button should always save and reload the post
 being edited.
