Comment (by Ov3rfly):

 A closer look shows another? problem in 4.8 code. Pre-existing html-
 comment gets wrapped in <p> when printed to front end, which leads to
 extra empty space in front end. Also extra linebreaks are added within the
 <p class="some-class>

 Pre-existing HTML in text widget, stays like this in 4.8:
 {{{
 <p class="some-class">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing
 elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna
 aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.</p>
 <!-- some comment "lorem ipsum" -->
 }}}


 view-source of front end, with 4.8:
 {{{
 <p class="some-class">
 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy
 eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam
 voluptua.
 </p>
 <p><!-- some comment "lorem ipsum" --></p>
 }}}

 Visitor sees extra empty space due to "non-empty" <p>
