 to text and press save button, it remove text from text area and data does
 not save.

 Yeah, can reproduce it too. Happens only on the Widgets screen not in the
 Customizer, and with any input type, typing does it too.

 Happens because the editor is added on "fake" input fields, the "real"
 fields are hidden and sync from the fake fields on a delay. Not sure why
 the Text widget needs that, all seems to work better if the "real" fields
 are used directly.

 If the fake fields are indeed needed, the way to fix this is to reduce the
 syncing delay.
