Comment (by judyvedder):

 The website was upgraded from 4.6. No, the 3 plug-ins were not tested on
 the website prior to upgrade. They are new installs post upgrade. I
 explained in my ticket that I removed ALL plug-ins, except the widget I
 was testing, and went to the Twenty Sixteen theme where I saw the same
 behavior as I did with the custom theme. That is why I do not think it is
 theme related.

 It seems that I would have really unfortunate luck if I just happened to
 pick three plug-ins that all have a bug that makes them disappear out of
 the sidebar in the widget Admin area. In addition, I have seen several
 people sharing similar widget issues in 4.8.1. In my case, it appears that
 widgets that were on the website prior to upgrade work fine. When I add
 the new plug-ins they do not work fine. Not 100% sure it has anything to
 do with upgrading, but I was trying to offer some information that might
 lead to the correction of this issue. I am currently dead in the water on
 my site.

 Yes, I am talking about the Widget Admin area.

 If a developer who can work on a fix for this issue wants to access my
 test environment to see this first-hand I would be happy to give you
 access to my website.
