Description
Related: #24766
The Customizer's legacy Widgets interface includes a title
attribute for the sidebar description.
If the description is worth showing, then changing it from a tooltip to visible text below the sidebar name would make it accessible to more people. If it is unnecessary, the title attribute could simply be removed.
To find the sidebar list:
- Install and activate the Classic Widgets plugin.
- Activate a classic theme with multiple widget areas, such as Twenty Twenty.
- Go to the Customizer.
- Click the Widgets button.
- Click on one of the widget areas.
- Click the "Reorder (widgets)" button.
- Click on the "move to another area" button. This is the first icon of three, using the same arrow on a box that indicates external links in other places.

Option 2: Remove the title

I would agree with option 1. These descriptions are significant, and I think they should be exposed to users.
