Change 636651 had a related patch set uploaded (by Esanders; owner: Esanders):
[mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend@master] Create a database preference for preferred editor
@ppelberg On looking at the code further, it appears the preference is only set when you switch editors. We could change this to be whenever the editor is loaded instead (which is what desktop does). For now the patch just implements database storage.

I think this should have been closed in 2021. It definitely works correctly in the common case. I don't think we're going to be able to investigate these edge cases.
