<li> problem in widget control

[petervanderdoes]

When the control function of a widget has <li> </li> in the source, the adding to the side bar messes up.

As an example I added two <li> options to Akismet.
<p><label for="akismet-title"><?php _e('Titles:'); ?> <input style="width: 250px;" id="akismet-title" name="akismet-title" type="text" value="<?php echo $title; ?>" /></label></p>
<li> Item 1</li>
<li> item 2</li>
<input type="hidden" id="akismet-submit" name="akismet-submit" value="1" />

The result when you add the widget to the sidebar can be seen in the attached picture.

The problem lays in wp-admin/js/widgets.js
I attached a patch to solve the problem.

This code (and the problem) is gone in 2.8.
