Why are changes that I make to a demo / draft theme adjusting my active / live theme?

Changes you make to the theme may also impact the widget layout and widget design. Therefore, you should create a duplicate of the widget layout and widget design and attach those to the new theme before adjusting the new theme.

To check which Layout and Design is activated on your store, go to Design > Themes, and select the draft theme. Under General Settings, Display tab on the left you can note the things you will need to adjust: Widget Layout:  and General Widget Style:

You can then duplicate these under Design > Widget Layout and Design > Widget Design by clicking the clone button on the right next to the template you wish to duplicate.

Then go back to Design > Themes, and under the demo / draft theme, under General Settings, Display tab on the left, use the drop down box to select the newly created Widget Layout and Design, and save so as not to effect your current theme.
