 Hi.

 When dragging and dropping a widget into a sidebar the widget form doesn't
 get properly updated, unless you manually press the "Save" button. However
 the widget instance data is saved (you can see the widget in the frontend
 even if you don't press 'save').

 This problem is noticeable when you're developing a widget and want to
 display some widget options in the form based on the widget's location or
 position. You can't do this because '''$widget->id''' or
 '''$widget->number''' appear to be initialized within the form() function
 only after you press Save...

 I can provide the code of a test widget if necessary
