Comment:

 I'm pretty sure it only displays sidebars that appear on the page you're
 on. It's a cool idea in theory, but it can be confusing (and some widget
 areas are pretty buried due to context, forcing someone to click around in
 the preview window so they can edit it). It might be worth showing these
 not-being-previewed widget areas but with some kind of indication they're
 not shown on that particular page.
