 in a widget area and type in a link without http:// at the beginning, you
 can’t save the widget, but there is no notice what’s going on. Just
 nothing happens.

 There should be some indication of an invalid URL.

 This is regarding the link URL field which was added to the image widget
 in [41252] for #41274.
