Widget Area Content Element Change

I have used the “Widget Area” Content Element widget for a while to render enfold short code. ie: I create a draft post, add buttons, posts, galleries . . . that I want to use on multiple pages. I then copy the short code and paste into a Text widget inside a Enfold Custom Widget Area (Appearance/Widgets). I can then call those buttons or whatever from multiple pages. All I have to do is change the enfold short code and voila I can make site wide changes.
All great until now.
A bunch of weirdness started happening since an update.
Custom widget areas I created a couple months ago still render properly. If I copy the enfold short code from this working widget and . .
Create a new Enfold Custom Widget Area, paste the exact same enfold short code and it adds duplicate elements when rendered. :(
I have added both Custom Widget Areas to https://keefersummer.xhholmt3-liquidwebsites.com/junk/
First row is old Custom Widget Area that works. Second row is the new Widget Area that is wonky. Both use the exact same code. Only difference is when the Enfold Custom Widget Area (Appearance/Widgets) was created. ???
