Comment (by simonrcodrington):

 After updating our varius sites to WP4.4 the changes to the post edit
 screen were a bit jarring. I had clients asking me where their 'view'
 button has gone and how do they get to it (they are just basic editors). I
 had to explain you press the blue 'permalink' link and that it takes you
 to the page.

 I'm fairly against clicking on that link and it opening in a new window. I
 work on dozens of pages a day across multiple sites so the thought of
 opening up tabs for each seems like a bit much. I'd be happy if it were a
 setting or something similar under the 'writing' settings tab.

 I posted a similar closed bug link
