Comment (by westonruter):

 In [changeset:"42186"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="42186"
 Widgets: Set global `$post` to current queried object instead of
 nullifying when `is_singular()` while applying filters (and shortcodes) in
 Text widget and (via plugin) Custom HTML widget.

 Also prevent `[gallery]` shortcode from dumping out every attachment on
 the site when a containing Text widget is shown on an archive template.

 Props westonruter, bobbingwide, joemcgill for testing.
 See #10457.
 Fixes #42548, #42547 for 4.9.
 }}}
