 * Hello, I’ve had this happen a couple of times on the same site. I save a widget,
   view it on the public side, go back later and it’s gone in the admin.

 * This is really weird. Is it possible that you were working on widgets on multiple
   tabs/windows or that other people were working on that too?
    Does your site has
   any DB or Object caching system?

 * It’s possible another person was working on it, but I asked her and she said 
   she didn’t touch it, but it’s possible I guess. There aren’t any caching plugins
   installed and I don’t see anything in the hosting cPanel. I just added it back
   and I’ll wait and see what happens.

 * Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t have any locking mechanism for widgets as it 
   has for posts/pages. Moreover all the data of the widgets of the same type are
   stored in a unique record in the database, so problems may arise when concurrent
   edits occur on different widgets of the same type (even if it’s pretty uncommon).
