Hi @mukesh27,

I have tried to reproduce your issue but failed to do so. Only difference could be you had some text widgets in place already with data inside even before you update to 4.8, which is not my case. I am already using 4.8. I added the native Text widget to a sidebar and used a HTML formatted text in Visual Editor mode. I did not switch back and forth between Editor and Text modes.

The text is showing up perfectly OK with all its HTML formatting I added. Can you give me the exact steps to reproduce (if it differs from what I did) so that I can try once more?

Thank you!
