Any way to keep the screen widgets on the screen while editing in edit mode?

I am still wondering if I am the only Blender head that thinks this is an issue :slight_smile:

So here is the issue at hand. As you see in the right image, the screen widgets are gone when moving verts.

I am trying to see what purpose hiding the icons of gizmos and others up there serves? If this is about showing more info about the operation, the whole bottom part of the 3d viewport is empty, all that stuff can be shown there. Really perplexing implementation.
