    I see the new icon chooser option in posts and pages, but I don’t see it when using blocks within the new block-driven widget editor. WP 5.8.1, Font Awesome 4.0.4

    Thanks for the report, @eclev91.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution for this problem yet, and I can’t give an ETA for when it might be solved. It’ll require further investigation.

    It’s easy to just add the Icon Chooser in that situation. The problem is that doing so will create conflicts for legacy widgets that try to use the wp.editor global to make use of the classic TinyMCE editor.

    Our code that integrates the Icon Chooser with the block editor depends on the @wordpress/editor package, which if loaded in this context, would break such legacy widgets.

    Seems like we’re in a bind here. Fixing it for one would break it for another.

    In the meantime, I’d recommend typing an [icon] shortcode directly into those blocks in widgets, without the help of the Icon Chooser.

    Sorry for the trouble!

    (I’ve written some additional details on the GitHub issue where this problem was also reported.)

    I’ve added a feature request in GitHub to track this.
