Description
When creating 2 or more custom page templates, the Preview Change button is failing to show the correct template after making a switch. Here are steps below.
- Create 2 custom page templates in code.
- Go to wp-admin and go to Pages
- Either use the Sample that ships with WordPress or create a new page
- Within page edit mode, under Page Attributes, select a different page template.
- Click Preview Change.
- You will notice that the preview does not reflect the correct template. You have to push Update in order to see it.

I can confirm that this does not work.
I had a short discussion with @swissspidy about this:
It is expected behavior. To solve it, the new page template would have to be passed as a query parameter to the preview or be saved as a post meta revision. Ticket #12922 is related to this: same problem, just with post thumbnails. A solution could be the framework for storing revisions of post meta found in #20564.
