Zoom to layer not working on widget maps

Bump Bump

I concur; this is not working for me either.
I seem to be having a related issue, but with some caveats.
Likely the same issue manifested another way...

Goal.
Essentially what I'd like to accomplish is to use the Display map of a parent/ related node as the select Widget for the child/ related node, of a different content type.
*In my use case I cannot use the actual display map but rather I need to get its location via Views.

Build.
Using Geofield, Openlayers, Views, References: Node Reference URL widget. Also trying views utilizing a Geocoder field, again with no success.
I have created a Display map as well as a Widget map for each content type and I do think I have configured them correctly.
This has left me trying endless variations in my Openlayers Data Overlay View (select widget)

Prior to reading this post I was thinking I was just not getting the View correct (also still possible), or suspecting a possible inability to pull the location via the Node Reference URL Widget, Which lead me to trying to use a Geocoder field, no luck.

Can anyone offer any further insight into this?
Has anyone accomplished this?

Just as Branislav Bujisic stated, the node displays work fine, but I cant seem to accomplish the same with a widget.

I have a live sandbox setup I can toss an account to someone if they wanna look. hit me up.

Update
Oddly I've found this is working on some content types and not others. I cannot find any wrong settings so I will try recreating the problem content types and see where that gets me.
So this leads me to think my issue may not be the same as the author of this original post.

I have the same problem

Here the same:
geofield_widget_map cannot zoom and center on marker.
(zoom to Layer)
geofield_formatter_map does.
Is there no solution for this problem?

This bug has 2-year history, many followers and reentered tickets (I found at least four, added here), as well as references on other sites. The bug reproduces on last stable version Openlayers2 and on last dev version too. And it looks annoying to users.

Can I set the priority to Major?

Not sure how many people are still seeing this issue, but I ran into it as well locally and wanted to report back from some digging.. it seems like the geofield placeholder actually adds a 2nd vector layer with the data in it when the map renders, but the javascript for the Zoom to Layer plugin filters this layer out because it has a `drupal_id` which does not match any of the layers which have been selected in the UI. On the site I'm working on a simple fix was to add a new custom "Zoom to All Layers" behavior which duplicates the "Zoom to Layer" behavior but replaces the
var layers = ... line with

var layers = map.getLayersBy('isBaseLayer', false);
