Missing "Add News" (submit) button

Author reported missing "Add News" button.
I have an author on my site that reported the "Add News" button was missing for them. As the screenshot below shows, they only have the "Preview" button. When I masquerade as this user I see the same thing.Any idea what may cause this behavior or how to correct it? Is this because of a misconfigured permission?

OTTOMH If this option is on, there's an option in each member's settings to say whether they need to Preview first.

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

OK, This was the critter that was causing the issue. When this setting is active AND the user has the preview first box checked, even after previewing the news post the "Add News" button does not appear. It seems as though this is a bug. I'll simply deactivate this setting since they will still be able to preview before sending anyway.
Thank you very much for the pointer. The situation has been resolved.
