Comment (by westonruter):

 As I just [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21622#comment:25
 commented] on #21622:

 > Please test and review these changes: https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-
 develop/pull/272
 >
 > * Refactor themes and plugin editors to submit file changes via Ajax
 instead of doing full page refreshes. Moves file modifications from theme-
 editor.php and plugin-editor.php to common Ajax handler.
 > * Do sandboxed updates of PHP files for both active themes and plugins,
 with rollbacks in the case of a loopback request results in a fatal error.
 This supersedes changes in #39766 (Plugin does not gracefully fail when
 editing active plugin causes fatal error).
 >
 > The improvements to the user experience and the robustness of the file
 editors are huge.
