Why was the Save button moved when editing?

Back in the old layout, the Save button was in the middle of the screen, with the Preview button at the left side. But now it's moved right above the Preview button, when led to me saving the edit when I meant to use the Preview button beforehand.

Why was this change necessary?

I'll agree with this. Functional design on webpages is partially about avoiding misclicks. That placement is terrible for that.

This is something that I'd like to address when work on the actual interface gets going in earnest...I'd actually like to have the Save and Preview buttons completely reformatted to make them more eye-catching, and moving at least the Save button to the center is a good idea.

I rather liked the change. On wide screen the old preview button was too far to the left to be of enough note to cause an "Oh, right, let's preview this first" effect, when a polished phrase takes rather long to compose or something.
