Comment (by westonruter):

 @mrfoxtalbot interesting. Did you get the admin pointer when you pasted
 the HTML the first time?

 See the pointer here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/08/01/fixes-to-
 text-widget-and-introduction-of-custom-html-widget-in-4-8-1/

 The pointer won't appear anymore since dismissing.

 It could be a nice enhancement to TinyMCE to convert pasted HTML into
 rendered HTML actually as well.
