 Replying to [comment:90 WPwebbouw]:
 > In my opinion the only sane decision to be made is to revert the new
 text widget introduced in 4.8 back to the original text widget. Preferably
 in the 4.8.1 update. After that, introduce whatever wysiwyg text widget
 you want, but don't ever again do it in a way that destroys existing
 sites, kills existing functionality and forces admins to fix a problen
 they didn't create.

 I couldn't agree more. This proposed face saver solution is just crazy.
 Revert back and do it right. This is already a mess with all clients.
 Sorry but this is not a viable solution.
