Text widget missing preview option

  • Up to WP 4.9.9 the text widget would offer a wysiwyg preview. That is gone with 5.0.2 using the classic editor. Went through the drill of disabling all plugins except classic editor for obvious reasons, and it didn’t help. Using the TwentySeventeen theme. Is this a bug or a feature?

    It is an admin page, so here is a link to a screen shot of the opened widget.

    A follow-up on this problem. Remembering the widget can be seen via a couple different ways, I opened it in the Customize menu option and view button is present there.

    Having discovered this unexpected on/off situation I moved groups of plugins from the plugins directory and found that by deleting the Advanced Rich Text Tools for Gutenberg plugin this view option is restored regardless of which menu is selected. This is the first time I’ve run into a plugin problem that required removal vs disabling. So this issue is resolved.
