 Replying to [comment:61 westonruter]:
 > As noted in [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40951#comment:154
 #40951 (comment 154)], we may want to update the Custom HTML widget to
 explicitly add the just-in-time shortcode support if a plugin had added
 support for it. See [attachment:custom-html-widget-shortcode-
 support.diff]. This would ensure that if a user moves from a Text widget
 to a Custom HTML widget, the shortcode handling will still work.
 >
 Tests should be other way around and the filter shouldn't be removed once
 added.

 > Alternatively, we could just go ahead and apply all the `widget_text`
 filters to the Custom HTML instance instead. See [attachment:apply-
 widget_text-filter-in-custom-html-widget.diff].
 >
 > Thoughts?
 Balancetags should be applied during save.
