viewMode won't work in storyStoreV7 properly

[Davo911]

Following snippet is in the preview.js to display the 'docs' tab as default.

export const parameters = {
  viewMode: "docs",
};

This works like a charm as it should, but as soon as the storyStoreV7 feature flag is set in the main.js, the viewMode setting seems to be ignored.

Facing same issue, with storyStoreV7: false the viewMode parameter works again

I can confirm the same issue, using storybook v6.4.8

viewMode isn't working for me even if I set storyStoreV7: false. Tried clearing localStorage, but no luck

Confirming that in the latest build (v6.5.13), setting globally viewMode: 'docs' in preview.js parameters, is being disregarded when the story is rendered the first time. If I select the story again in nav, then everything works as expected.

v6.5.14 as well. Still, the issue is present. Also I'm using '@storybook/builder-vite', which requires storyStoreV7 otherwise it fails when I build a static files.

Same for 6.5.15 with webpack too.

Sorry for the radio silence on this. We're getting rid of viewMode in 7.0, so I don't think this will get fixed unless somebody wants to open a PR against the main-prerelease branch.
