Issues with the Nomad World Map Widget

I’m having two (unrelated) issues:
1. When I try to save html in the “below the widget” section which has a description indicating the “link and strong” tags are allowed… All tags are stripped
<span class=”aligncenter”>Get Bigger View</span>
gets stripped to just “Get Biger View”.

What’s strange is the link gets stored (shows up correctly on the front end) but then the widget text area just shows the text string, no link, on refresh. The escaping and sanitization looks roughly correct… :shrug:

2. I’m having a conflict with a widget fragment cache I run, I’ve excluded the widget from the cache and it’s now back to working… haven’t debugged why, but it’s working excluded.

Don’t really need help with this, just reporting what’s going on.
