Comment:

 In [changeset:"41392"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41392"
 Widgets: Prevent visual Text widget from decoding encoded HTML.

 Also apply `the_editor_content` filters on widget `text` with
 `format_for_editor()` as is done for the post editor.

 Merge of [41260] to the 4.8 branch.

 Amends [40631].
 Props westonruter, azaozz.
 See #35243.
 Fixes #41596.
