Description

Description

Load animations don't work for the legacy widgets. They work fine for gutenberg blocks that are added in the sidebar.
Here is a video with the behaviour https://vertis.d.pr/v/IDbBq4

(If it's not possible to fix this, we should at least disable the animations from the Block tools settings in legacy widgets)
Reported here - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-on-widgets-editor/

Step-by-step reproduction instructions
  1. Install Neve and Otter
  2. Add some gutenberg blocks in the sidebar
  3. Set animations for the gutenberg blocks and also for the legacy widgets that are in the sidebar by default
  4. Check if the animations work in frontend

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with WordPress 6.4.1, Otter 2.5.2, and Neve 3.7.3 using the listed steps and video. Trace the animation behavior for legacy widgets versus Gutenberg blocks; done means legacy-widget animations work in the frontend, or their animation controls are disabled if fixing them is not possible.
