Visibility Controls lost in new WP widgets control area #49860

Description

@Jon-Stout

Impacted plugin

Jetpack

Quick summary

Wordpress seems to have redesigned its Widgets page and now "Visibility" is not available on the edit widget page. You can still access it on the "Live Preview" page, but I have some widgets that are not accessible via that interface and so I cannot access the visibility control for that widget. Can you update the plug-in to restore visibility controls?

Steps to reproduce

Go to Appearance > Widgets
Edit or Add any Widget
Note that the "Visibility" button does not appear.
