I confirm the problem on ubuntu 16.04 64bits

It seems that any redo in 3DView delete unsaved text in text editor.

Confirmed. In fact it happens for any operator in the viewport in object mode. Another way of reproducing this is:

Write some text
Do some operation (e.g., Duplicate Object)
Ctrl+Z

It should undo only the last operation (e.g., Duplicate Object). Instead it also revert the text written in (1).

@mont29 or @Sergey can you look at it?

This is our infamous undo design limitation biting us again, Text editor has own undo for most of text editing, which does not affect global undo, and is ignored by it, so redoing 'global undo' operator reset states to previous 'global undo' point and wipes out all text editing done in-between.

Will archive this report as known limitation for now, reworking our undo system is long due task, but not considered a bug currently.
