Web AppBuilder Edit Widget has blank Attribute edit window on repeat click.

I ran across this behavior in the Edit widget:

User clicks on a point.
Attribute Inspector edit window displays fields names and values to edit.
User closes attribute window.
User clicks on same point (without clicking anywhere else first)
Attribute Inspector edit window displays a blank canvas, no field names and no values.

I believe I've found the line that causes this problem in widget.js:

_updateSelectedFeature: function(selectedFeature) {
if (selectedFeature) {
    selectedFeature.getLayer().applyEdits(null, [selectedFeature]);
    // Commenting out the next line makes the problem go away.
    this.editor._clearSelection();
}
},

I haven't found any new problems caused by this change, but I won't swear there aren't any. Post back if you try this and find an issue.

FYI: If the user clicks somewhere else on the map, then clicks on the original point again, it will work without this code change, in case you just need a workaround...
