 * Hi,
 * I have problem with building custom widget. I want to create widget which have
   rich-text area in it. I try to use the_editor() or wp_editor() functions but 
   this is not working.
 * It was tested on:
    1. fresh install 2. basic template 3. all plugins disabled
   4. different browser with clear cache
 * In form function in custom widget I call:
    `the_editor( $content, $this->get_field_id('
   text' ) );` which render the editor correctly but after I click on Update button
   it disappear and doesn’t update the content.
 * Where is problem? What I’m doing wrong?
 * Thanks
