if wp_editor is used in a metabox and you change 'visual' to 'text' and save, it affects the main editor too

Please view the gif above.
This shows the editor and a metabox editor using wp_editor.
When one is switched from 'visual' to 'text' the other switches on save.

This is expected behavior. Most users prefer either the Visual or the Text editor. The user preference for which editor to load first is "global".

In your plugin you can change the behavior by setting it to the state of one of the editors onunload. See: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7.3/src/wp-admin/js/editor.js#L84 and https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7.3/src/wp-admin/js/editor.js#L115.

Closing as worksforme as that's the expected behaviour. Feel free to reopen with ideas and/or some (pseudo) code if this still needs changing in the classic editor.
