This will fix the problem:

Sorry, don't found the way to commit changes to SVN repo.

I'm closing it, see my prior comment.

This is still an issue IMO. It's about the fact that the "Add news" button is displayed while adding a new news item (thus being on the new news view). This also applies to two other new views: 'New message' and 'New document'.

This can be "reproduced" on *.m.redmine.org (and rm.o) as such. I think we can argue about whether it's a defect or not. The 'Add x'-functionality is not broken in any way, it's just the lone fact that the button is displayed on those views. I think this is more a design-consequence rather than a defect - not completely sure here, so correct me if I'm wrong.
More general: I think this is more of a FR to request improvements regarding the consistency of the UI, more specific the mentioned 'New x views'. What do you think?

Hi,

I created a new patch to fix the problem. With my solution a user with manage news permissions (in any project) can see the "add news" button on global news index.

Without this patch, everyone can see "add news" button on global news index - even without permissions.

Thank you for detecting and reporting the issue.

The bug you is a new one in Redmine 4.2.0 (#33167) and is different from this one. I have opened #35308 for the bug and attached the patch.
