Comment (by mark-k):

 :( not sure how anything is being fixed with the last commit. Hope no one
 seriously expect people that do not want to use the rich text editor in
 the "html" widget to disable it also when they edit their content.

 And really, all of us make mistakes and some of them are bigger than the
 others. The patch over patch strategy employed now to save face is just
 not in place. The proper solution is to resurrect the old widget and call
 the 4.8 version something like "rich text". Much less coding effort than
 the endless patch over patch over patch that is surely to come.
