wysiwyg editor appearing even when user disables it

On the profile settings I allow user to chose default state of the editor. Default is activated, but when a user deactivates the field this doesn't reflect when the user edits a page.

I'm using firefox 3.0.1 on ubuntu 8.04.

If I change this line the editor respects my setting and appears disabled:
