Hello @jontyravi, thank you for the patch(s),

It looks like there is a small indentation issue on the line you added. Also, there should be a new empty line between @since and @global declarations.

Hi @audrasjb,

Thanks for sharing this thing and I have uploaded a new patch with the all the above changes

[audrasjb]

Thank you. However, for WP coding standards compliance, we need a newline before and after the @global declaration. To clarify, here is what we need:

         * @since 3.9.0
         *
         * @global WP_Widget_Factory $wp_widget_factory         
         *
         * @param array $value Widget instance to sanitize.

(feel free to delete the previous diff files when your patch is somehow uploaded multiple times ;)
