 In version 3.6 when you are editing a draft post there is a "Get
 Shortlink" button below the title. But in 3.7 and 3.8 that button only
 appears after the post has been published.

 One of our clients was using that button to place links from draft pages
 to other draft pages (apparently using the full permalink didn't work for
 them, I assume they changed the titles before hitting the publish button).

 The code which changed is line 447 of wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php:

     if ( !empty( $shortlink ) && $shortlink !== $permalink && $permalink
 !== home_url('?page_id=' . $post->ID) )

 (Removing "$shortlink !== $permalink && " would fix the regression.)
