Horizontal preview reverts to Vertical preview on page refresh

Horizontal preview reverts to Vertical preview on page refresh

I can't seem to get Horizontal preview to 'stick'. I have this issue in multiple browsers on multiple computers.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Settings > All > Mail > Mail View Options > Select 'Open Message in Horizontal preview'
  2. Select message in inbox and Horizontal preview will work as expected.
  3. Refresh browser and message will open in Vertical preview
  4. Click on message in inbox twice and Horizontal preview will work again
Desired outcome: Messages never open in Vertical preview when Horizontal preview is selected.
