Strange, it should've been fixed in #2323

@ara4n the reported app version seems to be wrong, we're at 493 for nightlies and 86 for release 🤔

I was able to reproduce it but only on a large (max) iPhone. Presumably it has something to do with the split view appearing, recomputing the whole hierarcly and resetting that hasAlreadyAppeared ComposerToolbar flag

While we're at it let's also implement some sort of in-memory draft storage solution but do please put it behind a service and a protocol so we can switch to a rust based solution in the future (we need encryption if not in memory)

My original question still stands: why does the RTE need to reset its contents on appearance?

i strongly suspect i misread the 3 as an 8 on the dinky little icon (especially as i filed this in bed with my glasses off, hence accidentally rotating the phone :P)

Opening an issue on RTE. I finally discovered what is causing it, but the solution requires to fix an architectural issue on the RTE side.
