 * That sounds like a theme issue. If you don’t have any widgets in your sidebar,
   often themes will revert to a default. To resolve this, put in blank text widgets.

 * I cannot reproduce this. Try flushing your browser cache.

 * I am seeing the exact same thing, across 3 separate themes, including Twenty 
   Ten… and woefully, this is launch day for my new WP7 app 🙁

 * bc3tech – Which one? The ‘appears in sidebar even we remove them from admin’ 
   or the screen layout?
 * I can change my screen layout from 2 to 1 and back again no problem. Yes, I have
   to re-apply which widgets I want in which column, but that’s a weird UX thing
   and not a bug.

    There are Search, Archives and Meta links widgets appears 
   in sidebar even we remove them from admin but when i put “text” widget into “
   Primary Widget Area” using admin panel said widgets removes from sidebar. is 
   it functionality of WordPress in 3.1.4 :). This is not logical! i am waiting 
   your prompt guidance and support.

 * as Ipstenu said, this is a theme issue. Some themes include default widgets if
   you don’t have any. modify the theme (probably sidebar.php), or write your own.
