 Please review the steps as described already above:

 1/ Navigate to the new Widget Editor
 2/ Paste the code below into the browser console
 3/ Place this Widget in your Sidebar
 4/ Move the widget to 'Inactive'
 5/ Try placing a new copy of the Widget in the Active sidebar - note that
 you can't do this until the Inactive instance is deleted.

 A single instance Block when moved from an Active Sidebar in the new
 Widget Editor to the **Inactive** section should trigger something such
 that it can now be placed again in an active sidebar, otherwise it a post
 user experience.

 Do you think a single instance widget in the Inactive section should
 precent it being placed on a live sidebar then? Is that the proposed and
 expected behaviour of the new Widget Editor?
