 **Error:**
 If a sticky post is published, the following query returns the published
 sticky post:


 {{{
 <?php
 <?php
 $query = new WP_Query( array(
     'post_status' => 'draft',
 ) );
 ?>
 ?>
 }}}

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Create a sticky post and publish it
 2. Create a WP_Query with its 'post_status' set to 'draft'
 3. Run the query
 4. Observe that the published sticky post is returned

 **Expected behaviour:**
 Setting `post_status` to `draft` should not return published sticky posts.
