 Unlike editing pages, the new widget visual editor on 4.8 will break HTML
 formatting on new and existing text widgets when switching back and forth
 (even without saving).

 Also of note (though this is probably a wpautop thing): on our
 installation, this also started adding <br> and <p> tags around comments
 and empty spaces where there were none before (we disable wpautop
 globally); we haven't had time to investigate so I can't be sure this
 visual editor is the cause, but it was worth noting.
