 Hey there guys,

 I've noticed in several of my sites that I've updated to WordPress 4.4
 that the ''''View Page' / 'View {content type}'''' button is missing.

 Previously the view button was next to the edit / shortlink buttons as
 seen below

 After 4.4 the button is now gone.

 The 'View' button still exists inside the top navigation menu, but my
 expectation is that as soon as I enter a post for editing I can
 immediately view it. Right now there is just an edit for the permalink
 button and that it is.

 When saving, there is a success admin notice that appears above it which
 can be used, but I don't see why it's necessary to remove a button that
 worked perfectly fine.

 Is this a bug? if not is there a thread or chain where it was outlined
 this would be removed in 4.4 as I need to follow up with my clients now as
 they keep asking me where the view button has gone.

 Cheers!

 Simon
