Comment:

 @Technicaldev: Thanks for the report. This issue was actually reported
 elsewhere in #33442. The issue will be “fixed” in 4.3.1, however as you
 can read in the comments on the ticket, I would argue that the plugin is
 doing the wrong thing by returning `null` from the `WP_Widget::update()`
 method. WordPress is expecting this method to be returning an array, even
 an empty one. So for the immediate fix, I recommend updating the plugin to
 return an array instead of null. Thanks!
