 Hi all,

 I have just taken a look at this ticket now and after reviewing the issue,
 it's important to consider the significant evolution of widget management
 within WordPress Core. Since the release of WordPress 5.8, the classic
 widget system has been superseded by the block-based widget editor. This
 change aligns widgets with the modern block editor infrastructure and is a
 key step in the transition towards Full Site Editing (FSE).

 The core development team's focus is now firmly on the block editor and
 FSE components. As such, enhancements or non-critical bug fixes for the
 legacy classic widget system are no longer being prioritized.

 Given that the functionality described in this ticket relates to a legacy
 system, I am closing this ticket as wontfix. This allows development
 efforts to remain focused on the current and future direction of
 WordPress. However, please feel free to reopen this ticket if you wish to
 discuss this further. 😃
