Comment:

 This issue is caused by a variable name (`$sidebar_id`) collision caused
 by [61187].

 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/eda8d9d27b129ac48143af7d9c2df595dc172e44/src/wp-admin
 /widgets-form.php#L138 The sidebar selected by the user] is overwritten
 each time [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/eda8d9d27b129ac48143af7d9c2df595dc172e44/src/wp-admin
 /widgets-form.php#L190 this loop] runs, resulting in widgets being
 unintentionally added to the last sidebar.

 I've submitted [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10633
 PR 10633], but if you have any ideas for better variable names, please let
 me know.
