 * If I try and add a 4th Text widget to the sidebar it dissapears as soon as you
   click to edit it. If you move it higher up the list first and then click to edit
   you get a message saying “are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?”

 * This happens to me too, only I can’t add even one text widget! As soon as I click
   edit it disappears. I tried changing themes, but it didn’t fix the problem.

 * Remember, once you add a widget to a sidebar, you need to hit the save button
   _before_ clicking the edit link on the widget.
