Unpublished nodes aren't viewable by users with "edit any foonode" permission. The user can edit the node but when they save , they get an "Access denied" . In what instance is it useful for a user to edit a node and never view it? It doesn't make since to me. THis would be really handy if content permissions took care of this.

Also, in views, if you use the "Published or Admin" filter, unpublished nodes should show up if user can edit them.

Thanks
