When I use (grab/rotate/scale) manipulator widgets they disappear. Only axe is visible (but without indicating starting point of transform).
So there is no visual reference at all to use them. For example gimbal mode for rotations is in fact absolutely useless when we cannot see gimbal lock :-(
This is really annoying. They worked nice in B 2.4x.
Thank you for solving this problem.

Assigned to maintainer of transform().
Martin: the 2.4x drawing method was not that bad? It gave nice visual clues of using the widgets. I can put this back nicely if you're OK.

Not ok at all. The manipulator code was full of duplicated code (still is). The drawing code was the worse offender.
Until someone has the time for a proper manipulator api, rehacking the previous drawing code, I think, isn't really a good option.

I can see the point to get nice code, but the "not OK at all" was not meant for the feature itself?
Will add a todo item in wiki for it.

No, the feature itself is great, we need more visual feedback in interactive operations.
