Comment (by gitlost):

 In the refresh patch "40951.3.diff" the legacy bail out got moved to after
 the `TextWidgetControl` addition in `component.handleWidgetAdded()` so you
 get a blank textarea showing...

 It's not being replaced but being made legacy compatible, with the
 suggestion to use the new HTML widget.

 @emmtre
 > Sorry but this is not a viable solution.

 Have you tried it? In my testing it works really well ("40951.2.diff" that
 is!).
