Comment (by hmabpera):

 Thanks for this information.
 Since we have no testing environment, I will work on implementing the fix
 this evening.
 i had thought of notifying the Simple Access Control developer, too.

 I am not a plugin developer so I don't know exactly what to do with these
 files.
 Are you suggesting that I substitute the two files: simple-access-control-
 workaround.php and text-widgets-patched.js for the files of the same name
 (w/o the patched part) on the server?

 If so, here's my plan:
 1. download the two original files so I have them in case I make a mistake
 2. replace them with your 2 files changing the names (or  not?) Can I
 leave the "patched part in the names?
 3. look for my widgets

 Again, thank you very much for your quick and expert response.  I hope you
 get a bonus.

 > Note: I've reached out to the author of Simple Access Control to alert
 them of the issue with how the Text widget is incorrectly extended in the
 plugin.
