When publishing a content article (at least from admin) that has previously been unpublished,publish_up is not being set to the current date/time. Visually, this causes a bad date to be shown for articles displayed with published dates. And logically, it can cause issues for extensions that rely on that date being appropriately set.
v3.4.6
Steps to reproduce the issue
Create a new article in an unpublished state.
From the admin Article Manager, click on publish widget or select article and use 'Publish' from toolbar.
Database field publish_up remains set to '000-00-00 00:00:00'.
Expected result
publish_up should be set to the current date/time
Actual result
Database field publish_up remains set to '000-00-00 00:00:00'.
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla! version 3.4.6
mysqli 5.5.45-MariaDB

Confirmed.
When you open an unpublished new article, set it to published and save: Field Start Publishing is filled correctly (current date and time). That's the expected behavior.
But not if you publish an unpublished article by clicking status change button in articles list or with button Publish. Then Start Publishing is still empty.

Maybe you can elaborate on what you think is wrong with what is happening. Because that is exactly what should happen, that is the way it is designed.
