Comment (by westonruter):

 [attachment:40951.7.diff] attempts to hide the pointer when the widget is
 collapsed. It does improve the positioning o the pointer to show on the
 right side of the widget (over the preview in the Customizer) but it does
 not yet handle keeping the pointer in place when scrolling the widget in
 the panel.

 Honestly, because there are so many hacks required to get an admin pointer
 to work, I think it would be better just the notice inside the widget
 itself, so something like [attachment:text-widget-legacy-mode-2.png], but
 maybe it should appear below the editor so that it doesn't annoy people
 when they try clicking between the tabs.
