  If been searching where to post this issue, and don’t know if this is the right spot, but here it is:

  In the new layout of the WP dashboard, the publish button is not visible when not using the block-editor. See: https://www.pasteboard.co/KU0s3b84KYlZ.png
  The issue didn’t existed before updating to WordPress 7.

  The #major-publishing-actions has a display: flex; on it.
  This makes sure it’s aligned beside each other and doesn’t allow to wrap when needed.

  When you’re using a caching plugin the button will be added to this section which makes the section to small for all the possible actions.

  To fix the issue the code in load-styles.php needs to be adjusted.

  #major-publishing-actions {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  }
  
  or

  #major-publishing-actions {
  display: block;
  }

  will fix the issue.
  
  Hoping some-one can help, our point me in the right direction to getting a fix for this issue.

  Cheers,
  Erik-Jan
