Short description of error
Curves sculptmode: object origin and 3D cursor are visibble. While the old particle editmode also had them visible, these dont serve any purpose here. If they would, we could alays bring them back, but usually (in other paint/sculpt modes), these are hidden.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • open .blend (should be in curves sculptmode already)
  • observe 3D cursor and object origin being visible (they should not)

Object origin indication is a way to know what object is active.

It seems to be useful to Andy in video where he is demonstrating that hair curves of a character can correspond to several objects.
One for eyebrows, One for beard, One for mustache...

This fix is not a good idea. A user can disable origin overlay if it is annoying him.

What is the point to create overlays, if you don't let users enable/disable them at will ?

You could imagine a way to make disabling of overlays an option of mode switch.
Why annoying people who want to see them ?

This was done for consistency reasons with other paint modes, feel free to open a new report for this

I understood that.
But I suppose that if I open a report to say that behavior of overlays in paint modes are not consistent with their behavior in other modes, it will be closed.
That was a choice of Sculpt Texture & Paint module to do that.
And obviously, UI team is choosing to follow them and preserve that exception instead of favoring simplicity.

There are TODO tasks about custom presets for display and new paint mode.
I prefer to wait that a developer working on new paint mode will rage about the idea to make 3D Cursor display automatically set by tool, to remind that should not be problem to let user set up overlays.
