Describe the bug
Reordering wysiwyg fields inside a group causes buggy behavior with TinyMCE, which breaks the saving of the field content.
Steps to reproduce (I have confirmed I can reproduce this issue on the develop branch): Yes, reproduced on develop [e39ae3b]
- Install WordPress
- Install the following plugins: Classic Editor, Classic Widgets, CMB2
- Register metaboxes with the code provided below
- Create a new page
- Add three rows inside the group with some content
- Save the page
- Move the last row to be the first
- See that the second row's TinyMCE editor has bugged out. Highlighting the text area inside it reveals the content, however saving the page causes the content to disappear. Clicking on the tabs of the bugged out field changes tabs on the first field.
Screenshots

CMB2 Field Registration Code:
function register_cmb2_test_metaboxes() {
$test_metabox = new_cmb2_box(array(
'id' => 'test_metaboxes',
'title' => 'Testing metaboxes',
'object_types' => array('page'),
'show_names' => true,
));
$test_group = $test_metabox->add_field(array(
'id' => 'test_group',
'type' => 'group',
'options' => array(
'group_title' => 'Row {#}',
'add_button' => 'Add row',
'remove_button' => 'Remove row',
'sortable' => true
)
));
$test_metabox->add_group_field($test_group, array(
'id' => 'row_content',
'name' => 'Text content',
'type' => 'wysiwyg'
));
}
add_action('cmb2_admin_init', 'register_cmb2_test_metaboxes');
