The icon that allow opening the 'Language settings' dialog in 'Languages' toolbox disappear when livePreview is used.
Thanks for the report. Can you please provide numbered steps to reproduce and a wiki in which we can observe the reported behavior?
1. Go to a wiki where ULS is installed (for example https://fr.wikipedia.org/, where I saw this bug) 2. Turn on livePreview in user’s preferences (Editing/Advanced options/Use live preview) 3. Go to an article and edit it. Yo can see this icon in the 'Languages' toolbox 4. Click on 'Show preview' button. 5. When the preview is complete, there is no more icon.
[edit conflict] 1) Enable "Use live preview (requires JavaScript) (experimental)" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing 2) Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random?action=edit and notice the icon is there. 3) Click "Show preview" and see the icon disappear.
I'm moving this to MediaWiki core. I do not think it makes sense in ULS to support experimental features until they are more stable. In fact I believe live preview is candidate for removal in favour of visual editor.

I don't see a reason for that: if wikitext will continue to be editable directly even after VisuaEditor, why shouldn't the user be allowed to preview the change without reloading the whole page?
This depends on a core bug, but will require (very minor) changes in ULS to be fixed. Moving back.
