 Problem: It is not possible to preview posts when you have set your front
 page to be a static page

 Steps to reproduce:
 - create a new blog
 - create a page
 - go to Settings->Reading
 - select your page in the 'static page' for the front page

 Then, there are some variants...

 1st variant:
 - create a new post, do not publish
 - do not click 'save draft'
 - click 'preview'
 - observe: visible front page, URL is like /?p=78&preview=true

 2nd variant:
 - create a new post, do not publish
 - click 'save draft'
 - click 'preview'
 - observe: visible front page, URL is like /?p=80&preview=true

 3rd variant:
 - create a new post
 - publish
 - make a change
 - hit 'preview changes'
 - observe: correct page preview, URL is like /new-post-
 three?preview=true&preview_id=83&preview_nonce=084e8f6b22

 4th variant:
 - create a new post
 - publish
 - change status to 'draft', click 'update'
 - hit 'preview'
 - observe: visible front page, URL is like /?p=86&preview=true

 Conclusion: draft pages not previewable when front page set to static
 page.
