Widgets are not updated when they are not in the effective visible area #4595

Describe the bug

Hello, I created a widget that I want to update periodically from my app when the widget board is open (based on WidgetContext.IsActive property of widget instance). Unfortunately, when my widget is partially visible (and I need to scroll down to see entire widget), updating doesn't work. The same when the widget is not in effective visible area at all. Scrolling doesn't help in most cases, and I have to reopen widgets board or move my widget up to update it correctly.

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Create widget that is updated periodically from the background
  2. Pin widget on the edge of visible content of widget panel
  3. Wait for update

Expected behavior

Updated widget regardless of position and visibility
