 With WordPress 5.7 the default when Add media insert image always defaults
 to Medium 300px wide.
 Why does WordPress 5.7 not remember the preferred default or last used?
 Every time I upload an image I have to remember to check & change this
 setting.
 It was never a problem before 5.7

 I'm having trouble reproducing this on an install running the classic
 editor plugin and using the Twenty Twenty One default theme.

 This is what I have tried:

 * Create new post
 * Switch to classic editor, text mode
 * Add media, change to large and insert
 * Create new post
 * Switch to classic editor, text mode
 * Add media, default size shown is large, change to medium

 I repeated the above a few times, each time switching to a different image
 size and for the next post the default size was showing the previously
 used version.

 Please let me know if I've missed a step or you're able to reproduce the
 error without plugins.
