Short description of error
Differently from using the transform tools in the toolbar, when activating the object gizmos that stay visible also with the select tools, a strange bug occurs that the e.g. moving the object on an axis keeps a grey axis where it was before, the gizmo is always present (differently again from using the transform tools), and if you switch from this to the transform tools to the selection with gizmo again, it messes the origin of the object.

I'm pretty sure that this is caused by the recent change of keeping the viewport gizmo visible when doing these operations.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Use the select tool in the toolbar, activate on or more object gizmos that stay always visible, do a transform operation.
[Based on the default startup]

if you switch from this to the transform tools to the selection with gizmo again, it messes the origin of the object.

HI, thanks for the report. Not sure if this has been reported before but the same behavior appears even on older versions.
(similar to: #76335 (After switching to Tweak tool its gizmo appears in center of previously selected area.))

a strange bug occurs that the e.g. moving the object on an axis keeps a grey axis where it was before

Not quite sure if this is intentional so will find the commit which introduces this.

The current problem is actually introduced between b5a1c194c5dd - e6fa74ffed5f

Getting build errors when bisecting (will try to fix them)

Any news on this? I just found out that the same bug occurs, probably from ages, with the gizmo of the spotlight.

Hard to say if in this case it was intentional or nobody never noticed it, I'd say the second considering it was behavior not present anywhere else in gizmos (before this bug of course).

Hi, checked again. This was introduced in 917a972b56
@ideasman42 , can you please take a look?

This appears on older versions as well (Will see if it already exists)

This bug is still present in 3.1. Not a big deal, it doesn't break or make it impossible to work, but considering it was introduced by the navigation gizmo update of 3.0, even if tiny it's basically a regression.

As much as I don't like that frozen grey gizmo, I don't know if that can be considred a bug anymore: after its introduction and many versions later, I think it was a choice of the devs to keep it across all transform gizmos.

Regarding instead the gizmo appearing in center of previously selected area, that is a bug and is still present: #76335 (comment)

Not sure if it's better to close this report and update that (not just edit mode), OR update this report and just keep the part about the gizmo misplacement in object mode.
