Hi all, I just completed the recent Widgets Call for Testing and compiled a list of bugs I noticed within the Appearance Widgets editor. I'm adding images as external links to keep this list easy to read!

Here are a few things I noticed about the widget areas containers:

widget-area-containers

  • The block icon is misaligned (spotted in this blog post by @shaunandrews)
  • There's an extra line at the bottom of the ellipses menu that can be removed
  • The ellipses menu contains an option for adding the widget area as a Reusable block, which I think should be removed. It works but leads to weird results when you try to insert the block elsewhere 😂
  • It’s confusing that the widget areas that are in use are closed when you first enter the screen, and I imagine some users might think that their content disappeared. Could we have empty areas default to closed and areas with items default to open/expanded? (Inactive widgets, if that section remains, could default to closed)
