Using column shortcodes in the footer via custom html widget

Hi,

My team and I often mock up a page via the avia layout builder for our footers. We grab the debug code and then use that code inside of a custom html widget. Prior to 4.0.7, this worked flawlessly but after the update, it ruined how equal height columns render in the DOM. I brought this up a long time ago in one of my other posts and never decided to pursue an answer from the Enfold team. However, I decided to dig into finding the reason why this might be happening and found the code that breaks my custom footers.

I was just curious if Enfold could suggest any workarounds for my issue such as making a function that would prevent this code from rendering in the footer… or add a fix in enfold in the future… or something else of the sort.

Here is the code that triggers the columns to break found in columns.php.

/**
 * check if row will break into next column
 */

if( ( false === $force_close ) && ! empty( avia_sc_columns::$first_atts['min_height'] ) && ( 'av-equal-height-column' ==  avia_sc_columns::$first_atts['min_height'] ) )
{
	if( ! isset( $meta['siblings']['next']['tag'] ) )
	{
		$force_close = true;
	}
	else if( ( avia_sc_columns::$calculated_size + avia_sc_columns::$size_array[ $meta['siblings']['next']['tag'] ] ) > 1.0 )
	{
		$force_close = true;
	}
}

Here is a test site that the issue occurs on. I currently have the above code commented out in my columns.php but is easily adjustable to demonstrate the issue.
