Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set the preference as "Always give me the VisualEditor if possible"
  2. Have the section editing link enabled
  3. Now click on Edit button
  4. Edit something using VE

5.Save the edit

Observe that , earlier in the section editing link there was just option "Edit", now after saving the edit using VE, "Edit Source" also appearing next to it

This happens when you have preference, "Remember my last editor" enabled and save an edit using VE (where Ve was your last used editor"

Interesting. After saving, we just call action=parse and return the result to the client to replace the page with.

Ah, and then try to do some magic that we usually shouldn't be doing in SET. Okay.
