Comment:

 In this patch 27491.diff:

  * Re-work how and when widget forms get updated
  * Replace ad hoc hooks system with jQuery events
  * Add `widget-form-update` event for widget form updates in both
 customizer and widgets admin page (fixes #19675)
  * Enter into a non-live form update mode, where the Apply button is
 restored when a sanitized form does not have the same fields as currently
 in the form, and so the fields cannot be easily updated to their sanitized
 values without doing a complete form replacement.

 Patch also pushed to GitHub: https://github.com/x-team/wordpress-
 develop/pull/5/files

 Provided an example plugin which incorporates Chosen and shows how the new
 `widget-form-update` event is used:
