Description

Steps to reproduce:

Turn Media Viewer off in preferences (tab Appearance)
Edit Wikipedia, make a lunch, edit Wikipedia, go to sleep, edit Wikipedia
It turns itself on somehow

Every week I find out it is turned on somehow, therefore usually every week I have to turn it off. But next week it is somehow turned on back and I have to deal with the same issue all over again

Note: on cswiki (I don't know, if on enwiki or Commons it does the same)

Are you using it as a logged-in user? Does it get turned on on a specific wiki, or is this about you using lots of wikis and encountering MediaViewer time and again?

Yes, logged in (anonymous users doesn't have got preferences available) and yes, on cswiki (I haven't tested it on another wiki yet)

It seems like this preference in my preferences is every day over night reset. Yesterday I've had it turned off and today it is turned on again.
