Description
I've just noticed that at least one of our widget classes has hardcoded id attributes in the markup generated by widget(). This shouldn't happen. We should use $this->id to concatenate id attributes, in case someone wants to have more than one instance on a page. See eg https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-groups-widget.php?marks=120,130#L118 The rest of our widgets could use an audit for this.
We can minimize backward compatibility breaks by keeping the currently hardcoded IDs for the first instance on a page.
Our JS may also need a review for this - I'm not sure whether it references widget IDs or classes, but it should only use selectors.
