Yep it should behave like this.

This is exactly how it is implemented now.

If I am taking it in right perspective, persistent block means a selected
area
remains selected until another block operation is initiated, right ?
If yes, then this is exactly how it is implemented now.
To illustrate:
1. Select a block either with Sh+NavableKeys or mouse.
2. Get cursor out of this area either by clicking at the other row or with
arrows keys.
3. Start typing, see that block remains intact.
4. Scroll past the block and bring it back in view, it is intact.
5. Click on other editor instance and do the same.
6. Go back and forth both editing instances and check if block still exists.
7. Issue Ctrl+C while in source having selected block.
8. Select other instance and press Ctrl+V, check block copntents copied
here.
Or I am missing to decipher persistence ?
