Invalid content was found starting with element 'depends'. No child element is expected at this point. in widget.xml

[DmitryFurs]

Precondition (*)

Magento 2.4-develop

Summary (*)

When we use a custom block to render the input field in the widget, when placing any node after the <block, it is highlighted with error: Invalid content was found starting with element 'depends'. No child element is expected at this point.

If we change the order so that the <block is the last one, there are no errors

There is also a strange behavior when using the standard type for the input field (for example text) and use the dependency, if the dependencies are not described at the end, we get the following error: Invalid content was found starting with element 'description'. One of '{value}' is expected.

Hi @DmitryFurs .
Unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce the issue on fresh 2.4-develop following by provided scenario.

Actual Result: ✔️ If we change the order so that the <block is in different positions, there are no errors.

@DmitryFurs Maybe we missed something?
Could you take a look?
Thanks!

@DmitryFurs The issue is reproducible on a fresh 2.4-develop.

If we change the order so that the <block is the last one, everything works as expected.
Thanks!
