Comment:

 > However on the other hand it is for many many years ( which is not a
 good reason however to NOT take up this ticket ) the case that dashboard
 widgets are instantly shown/hidden with the screen options.

 This is a good point. while we could probably devise a way to dynamically
 load a widget activated in screen settings, a reliable solution would
 likely require a refresh. Regardless though, the behavior for users would
 change and might be considered a regression. Given the level of effort and
 the mixed outcome, I'm not convinced we should invest time to work on this
 change.

 I will leave the ticket open. I am removing my self assignment though as I
 don't plan to work on this ticket.
