Comment:

 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 `onbeforeunload`. 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.
