#27601 breaks using wp_editor for saving text fields

[varun21]

The bugfix #27601 breaks the ability to use wp_editor for saving textarea in theme/plugin settings

name="mychildtheme[textareaname]" doesn't work since id can't have the [brackets] and the textarea name is derived from the id.

You have to define textarea_name in $settings for wp_editor(), see _WP_Editor:: parse_settings().

If I set the textarea_name, it alos does not work.
Example:

$editor_id = 'my_options[op_'.$pool["slug"].']';
wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, array( "media_buttons" => FALSE, "textarea_rows" => 10, "teeny" => FALSE, 'textarea_name' => $editor_id ) );

The default value of textarea_name is already the ID of the editor. You have to define an editor ID without brackets and use your ID with brackets for textarea_name.
