Front Page Template: With Static Homepage set under Settings > Reading, site editor defaults to static page, not Front Page Template #55431

Description

If I set a static homepage on a site that uses a theme with a Front Page template, the editor defaults to the static page upon opening, even though the Front Page template is still the site's homepage.

The description in the editor of the Front Page Template reads:

Displays your site's homepage, whether it is set to display latest posts or a static page. The Front Page template takes precedence over all templates.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Activate a theme like Kigen
  2. Open Settings > Reading and set any static page as the homepage
  3. Open Appearance > Editor (Observe: site editor opens to static page)
  4. In a new tab, check the site itself (Observe: front page template is still the site's homepage)
