Switching visual/html on wp_editor used on front end not saved as new default

[jb510]

Using the wp_editor on the frontend it doesn't default to the last used state it defaults to the last used state on the back end.

I did find that using:
add_filter( 'wp_default_editor', create_function(, 'return "tinymce";') );

inside the function I am using to replace the front end comments with the visual editor worked around this a for me by defaulting to visual which works as well for me in this case as last used, but the default should probably change globally when a logged in user toggles between the two _or_ should get saved independently.

Yes, the filter 'wp_default_editor' can be used to override which editor is shown first. We probably can add another arg to wp_editor() that overrides the default as it would be more convenient for plugins.
