**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable):
* go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets
* enable edittop ("Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page")
* go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing
* set editing mode to "remember my last editor"
* go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures
* enable "New wikitext mode"
* go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User talk:Jimbo_Wales
* click edit
* click read
**What happens?**:
Edittop vanished.
**What should have happened instead?**:
Edittop still there.
The visual editor can do the same thing if it's the only editor. The problem doesn't seem to trigger when the editing mode is set to "show me both editor tabs" and both editors are available.
