When editing an existing dashboard widget, some settings were reset to their defaults instead of showing the previously saved values:

The "Show widget background" checkbox always appeared unchecked, even if it had been enabled before.
The "Link content to" target showed "not selected" instead of the previously configured dashboard or view.

Both settings now correctly restore their saved values when re-opening the widget configuration.
