3 | | The patch in the widget replaces the themes before widget settings with a placeholder %s for the ID. This might be as the widget wanna use the category id instead of the link-nr instance. This is not neccessary, just keep the before widget as default, do nothing. Then its working in customizer. |
| 3 | The default patch in the widget replaces any theme "before widget" settings with a placeholder %s for the category ID, NOT the link-nr instance (but the latter is what customizer need). |

| 5 | This widget actually output the whole widget markup for each categories, - each category is a widget (!), that idea creates multiple same id if "before widget" args are use. |
