Description David 2021-09-25 02:22:22 UTC
SUMMARY
If I right-click a panel and go to the "Add widgets" section, when I look at a specific widget, it will show me how many instances of it are already added, but it has no functionality to highlight where exactly those widgets are, and no functionality to remove one or all instances of them.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click the panel, click "Add widgets", go to the search bar, type the name of some widgets that's already added.
2. Right-click the icon of said widget in the side panel for adding widgets.

OBSERVED RESULT
Does not offer me to highlight the widget instances, nor to remove all of them.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should offer me to visually highlight where the widget instances are, and to remove instances of said widget from the widget's entry in the side panel. Ideally also an option to remove all widget instances in a single click.
