Comment:

 HI @subrataemfluence thanks for posting the problem, it's very helpful.
 Reading the ticket, I believe it's unlikely that `explode` is the problem.
 Most likely something about ` $groups             =
 $new_instance['groups'];` could be different with the block editor
 enabled. I'd like to ask you for three things, please:

 1) Can you add verbatim what you send to `register_widget` for this
 widget?

 2) Could you `var_dump`, or inspect in xcode, ` $groups             =
 $new_instance['groups'];` with and without the block editor enabled? What
 is the value of $new_instance['groups'] in these cases?

 3) When is the comma-separated string formed? Clientside or after save?

 Alternatively you could attach the entire widget code so we could test
 without the back and forth.

 Thank you!
