STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open the Widgets Explorer
2. search for Individual Core Usage widget and add it to desktop
3. open the widget settings
4. while the widget settings is open, click and hold the widget until it enters in the edit mode - let's suppose I want to resize the widget after opening its settings
5. go back to the widget settings and change the display style to 'Horizontal bars'
6. apply the change by clicking on 'Apply' or 'OK' buttons

OBSERVED RESULT
the sensors of the widget do not work, as seen in the attached screenshot.
When I leave the edit mode by clicking on desktop, the sensors start to work as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT
the sensors should work immediately after the last step

Opening the settings window now exits edit mode, so this bug can't happen anymore as originally described. And I cannot reproduce any issues with this workflow now.
