Comment (by dfterry):

 Surely this is a huge problem for all the themes that use widgets with SVG
 or javascript or raw HTML that doesn't want to be changed. The widget
 WYSIWYG should be disabled by default, I have lots of problems with this
 default even with custom functions to prevent autoformatting because the
 editor itself just rewrites code when opened, no chance to disable.
