--------------------------+-----------------------------
 HTML entities appear in Legacy Widget's description. For example:


 {{{
 A monthly archive of your site’s Posts.
 }}}

 === How to reproduce

 1. Head over to /wp-admin/themes.php?page=gutenberg-widgets and select a
 widget block.
 2. Check out the description in the inspector controls.


 === What I expected

 The widget description in the block inspector should say "A monthly
 archive of your site’s Posts."

 That is, with no encoded entities.

 fixed in the plugin for sites running WP 5.7 in
