Scheduling posts to the past doesn't work
-
I reblogged a post from my other site to wordpress.com blog and chose to publish it at the same date in the past. The current (beep-beep-boop) editor allows to choose the date and time of publication. However, the post was published with today’s date. And this is not the first time.
I have to go back to the classic admin (one more reason to bring back the link to it in the new dashboard) to edit the date to the one I need through the quick edit in the posts list (both missing in the new admin, by the way).
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

@andykrillov, I have not been able to replicate your issue. I have no problem scheduling a post to the past with the new editor.
This sounds like an issue with your browser. Have you tried using a different browser?
Please make sure that your browser is up to date by visiting http://whatbrowser.org/
If it is not, please try updating your browser or switching to a different browser.
If it is, please do these two things:
1. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies.
2. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.
Please let us know how each step goes for you, and which browser (and version of) you’re using if you’re still having trouble.
Also, consider checking out this article about dealing with browser issues.

I am using Maxthon. Quick edit in the classic dashboard environment as well as in the full edit there works. What didn’t work twice is back-scheduling in the beep-beep-boop editor.
I tried Tor browser now. I don’t know why but a tested new editor opened (I am a participant in testing new features) all of a sudden and obviously there is no way of changing it there to the current editor (although in Maxthon I am not automatically given a tested editor). And in this new environment an error “the user cannot edit posts” prevents me from checking if back-scheduling works in Tor browser.

Tried posting from Tor via the classic admin/editor with a past date. It worked. So obviously something is wrong with the new editor.

And in this new environment an error “the user cannot edit posts” prevents me from checking if back-scheduling works in Tor browser.
This makes it sound like you might have been logged in with a different account or something happened to your local browser session and I am not sure what could have happened. A first, basic troubleshooting step I would recommend for this case would be to try clearing your browser cache and logging in again and then try back dating a post again.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cacheI did test this with the latest editor (the ones currently being tested), and I was able to back date a new post I created to a date/time in the past and it worked normally in my test.
-
I couldn’t have been logged in as a different account as there is only one blog on this account. And I couldn’t see if the latest editor works in back-scheduling as I was prevented from publishing a post.

I re-read your comment, and it sounds like you might be using an unsupported browser. These are the supported browsers: http://browsehappy.com/
You should be able to back-schedule if you are using a supported browser. If you’re still having trouble and you are using one of the browsers on the list, please let me know.

I resent this browser discrimination. People can’t be all caged into five “supported browser” cages. Besides, I can change User Agent description in Maxthon to Chrome or any othe browser if I choose so.
-
I’m sorry for the trouble. I’m not familiar with the Tor browser. I do know that the browsers used by the majority of people according to stats are worked on first.
