 > > Found an issue with [attachment:27767-07.patch]: After saving &
 activating the theme the widgets are in the right place, but after
 visiting wp-admin/widgets.php (where `retrieve_widgets()` is called too)
 the widget is moved to another sidebar, see screencast

 Good one! Your [https://github.com/x-team/wordpress-
 develop/commit/26e42c63168ce3ec94c53df8853fee87244c0638 most recent
 change] to `remove_theme_mod( 'sidebars_widgets' )` was what I was also
 working on. This also fixes the problem for me.
