Short description of error
The UI control elements of the 'Render Region' only appear if the camera is selected or if there is no camera or active object in the scene (by deleting an object, for example).
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Well, in order to see the controls, you need to select the Camera (same as the the scene Camera).
[check in code is a bit weak, so if there is no camera as well as no active object, both are the some (NULL) and you will also see the controls]
This was a conscious choice, see
3311505fd0
. So this is not a bug.Tbh, I dont think this is the best choice though either.
Will also think about a better way to do this [not sure how to solve this best, maybe @WilliamReynish, @HooglyBoogly or @JulianEisel have an idea here?]
(could just add a button in the corner to enable/disable controls, but this is also not very elegant)
If we dont find a better solution, I would even think that showing it always is better than only showing it when the camera is selected.

Render Region UI elements bugto Improve Render Region Border UI (show/hide the control gizmo)I agree it's quite weird to tie the visibility to the camera selection, since the border works in the viewport you might not even care about the camera at that point.
I agree that it's not so bad to always leave the gizmos on. You can always clear the border if they get annoying.
We could put a setting here if people really want a way to turn them off:
Improve Render Region Border UI (show/hide the control gizmo)to The Render Region Border gizmo only appears if a camera is selected or if there is no active objectI also notice before but didn't think about reporting it. Yet I bumped into it again and didn't remember I had to have a camera active. This makes no sense, since the region render of the 3dview is not connected to any camera.
I would opt of either a gizmo setting or a setting below the "render region" checkbox. Something like "show manipulator" "show handles".
A new user will never know this behavior or workflow.
Why not add it to the Gizmo menu, here it already shows other gizmos.
Currently the region render also shows weird behavior if we compared 3dv region vs camera region. Notice how different they behave when toggle overlays ON?OFF
