Comment (by fullworks):

 Having taken the time to write plugin  that reverts the text widget back
 to pre-4.8 functionality to solve those problems listed by so many,
 (https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-paragraphs-option-to-text-widget/)
 without modifying core files, my main concern is for the users of that
 plugin that I will be able to continue to revert after 4.8.1.    I see the
 new code is in trunk, I haven't tested yet the ability to revert that, but
 will take a look soon.
