10954	Widgets Disappear	hakre	azaozz	"The widgets page displays all available (registered) widgets. They can appear in three sections: Within the list of available widgets, within the list of Inactive Widgets and in the list of the sidebars.

The logic where such a widget is displayed is somehow broken. I can not precise this but what I experience on certain sites is the fact that widgets disappear. Somehow the available widgets list gets incomplete missing some widgets that are neither part of any sidebar nor incative.

I created a plugin to dig into the details and even did make a look on the widget listing code. I strongly suggest that the widget listing code is completely refactored because it's pretty akward. There are bugs in there that lead to dataloss, which is a strong signal that the code is overall not working properly.

I experienced it now with at least three sites otherwise I would not have taken the time to report it.

Please asign this ticket to the coder who is taking care for the widgets."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.9	Widgets	2.8.4	normal	fixed	needs-testing
