Comment (by ironprogrammer):

 I was able to reproduce the issue. **tl;dr**, the patch fixes the original
 notices, but there is a strikingly similar notice now caused by `class-wp-
 customize-widgets.php`. @costdev, would you be able to address the same
 issue there in your PR?

 == Test Report

 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/2227 PR 2227]

 === Env
 * WordPress 6.0-alpha-52448-src
 * Safari 15.3
 * macOS 12.2.1 (Monterey)
 * Theme: Twenty Twenty-Two
 * Gutenberg DISABLED 🔴
 * Plugin: WooCommerce (activated, but not configured)
 * wp-config: `define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );`

 === Steps to Test (BEFORE PATCH)
 1. Navigate to ''Appearance > Customize'' (menu enabled by WooCommerce).
 1. Observe that `/wp-content/debug.log` contains the following PHP notices
 (paths modified for privacy):
 {{{
 [25-Feb-2022 17:53:11 UTC] PHP Notice:  Trying to get property 'title' of
 non-object in [...]/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-nav-menus.php on line
 523
 [25-Feb-2022 17:53:12 UTC] PHP Notice:  Trying to get property 'title' of
 non-object in [...]/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-widgets.php on line 895
 [25-Feb-2022 17:53:12 UTC] PHP Notice:  Trying to get property 'title' of
 non-object in [...]/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-nav-menus.php on line
 1152
 }}}

 === Steps to Test (AFTER PATCH )
 1. Navigate to ''Appearance > Customize'' (menu enabled by WooCommerce).
 1. Observe that `/wp-content/debug.log` contains the following PHP notices
 (paths modified for privacy):
 {{{
 [25-Feb-2022 18:06:08 UTC] PHP Notice:  Trying to get property 'title' of
 non-object in [...]/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-widgets.php on line 895
 }}}

 === Expected Results (✅/❌)
 - Patch addresses originally reported PHP notices. ✅
 - Same notice appears in `class-wp-customize-widgets.php` in `wordpress-
 develop:trunk`. ❌
