Widgets get unvoluntarily removed by room moderators and admins

[almereyda]

Description

Since the introduction of widgets into some of our rooms, other moderators and administrators of those repeatingly remove widgets without wanting to, as they believe the X will fold it, instead of removing it.

Steps to reproduce

• add a widget to a room with other moderators that don't know about widgets, yet
• wait a while, until someone will try to fold it, and unexpectedly removes it

There could be a confirmation dialogue repeating the intent, offering an OK button and allowing for cancel.

Version information

riot-web v0.12.3

This touches with:

• Widgets UI/UX - I expected clicking the widgets button to let me add more widgets, but it closed the drawer. #4839 ("Show Apps" button doesn't show dialog the second time you click on it. #4834)
• We need consistent widget settings UX element-integration-manager#105

Perhaps change the X to a more universally understood icon, such as a trashcan?

We do need to spend some time refining the UX, but either a trashcan icon or a confirmation 'are you sure you want to remove this widget from this room?' would help to mitigate this particular problem.

To also resolve #4839, it may be also good to

• create an issue for an option for collapsing widgets upon channel display by default, and on a per-user basis.

I have addressed the icon (trash can) and warning / confirmation dialog in:
Riot-web: #5397
Matrix-react-sdk: matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#1520

@rxl881 since the PRs are merged, can this be closed?

@uhoreg - Yes. Thanks for spotting :)
