Live Preview stopped working, toggling legacy editor fixed it

Using the wonderful new Live Preview. At some point it reverted to old the Edit / Preview despite the setting “Default editing mode” = “Live Preview”

Steps to reproduce

At some point I switched to normal editing mode by clicking the pencil. After that I only had pencil or eyeglasses and it never showed the wonderful Live Preview again.

I opened settings, switched Legacy Editor ON, restarted, switched again Legacy editor OFF and restarted.

Live Preview is back.

Expected result

I should be able to click pencil to edit, then click eyeglasses to return to Live Preview.

Actual result

Click eyeglasses returns to classic Dead Preview mode.
