Incompatibility with the widget editor from a classic theme #69
Description
The issue
To reproduce this issue:
- install the plugin in a WordPress v6.8.2
- use a theme with the 3 files below
- then navigate to the appearance > widgets page
at that point, this warning will be rendered:
Notice: Function wp_enqueue_script() was called incorrectly. "wp-editor" script should not be enqueued together with the new widgets editor (wp-edit-widgets or wp-customize-widgets). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 5.8.0.) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121
There is information about this in WordPress/gutenberg#67333.

The quickest solution I've found is to remove wp-editor from the list of dependencies of the plugin. I'll be sending a PR for consideration a few minutes after publishing this issue.
