Syntax Highlighting no longer remembers whether it should be on or off
Closed, ResolvedPublic2.85 Estimated Story Points

Description

Previously, when I opened article editor, syntax highlighting would be on; now it defaults to off. When I turn it on, it does not remember that choice and when the editor is loaded again (for example to preview changes) syntax highlighting is off. I have this problem with both the standard wikitext source editor and the 2017 editor.
I tried clearing my browser cookies/cache, restoring default preferences, and tried both Safari and Chrome. I can reproduce this problem on en.wikipedia.org, meta.wikimedia.org, and test2.wikipedia.org.
