Cannot edit custom post even if capabilities are assigned to user role

[lpawlik]

It seems that users with proper capabilities can't edit custom post types due to two issues:

1. There is no edit link on posts list
2. There is incorrect check in post.php

Example of problem:
File post.php

if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ) )
    wp_die( __( 'You are not allowed to edit this item.' ) );

could be

if ( ! current_user_can( $post_type_object->cap->edit_posts, $post_id ) )
    wp_die( __( 'You are not allowed to edit this item.' ) );

Hi @lpawlik,

Is this issue new to trunk or has this been around in 4.1.1 or before?

Hi,
I've checked the history and it seems that my patch is reverting changes made in ​https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/commit/c2db94d10cb01fbb5babcd717896c89fa82f90e0.

Now I think it's not a bug - I should add edit_published_posts capability.
