Okay, so; the issue here is that people, including myself create sidebar's named "footer", in the new code you can set the ID's as well, most often in the theme review's i've seen people use the ID as footer as well.

This causes an issue with the javascript code and the appearance -> widgets area, since at that point there are 2 id="footer" 's available.   This primarily really only affects safari? chrome?  one of those, where it cant figure out which one to open causing problems.

Yeah I know, inconsequential right?

What are the chances of changing the id="footer" for the admin into say, id="admin-footer" instead?
