Shortcodes no longer work in text widget after upgrading to 4.8

Reported by: vijustin's profile vijustin Owned by: westonruter's profile westonruter

Description

The previous method of allowing shortcodes to execute in text widgets via add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); no longer works after upgrading to 4.8.

Changing line 98 $text = apply_filters( 'widget_text_content', $widget_text, $instance, $this ); to
$text = apply_filters( 'widget_text_content', $text, $instance, $this ); allows the filters applied via line 82 to pass through.
