In my workflow, I need to inspect cross-sections in great detail. But the manipulator will often be nowhere to be found! And when I find it, I'll be zoomed out so much that I can't see my design! Apparently the manipulator is bound to the origin of the component that contains the original construction plane involved (?). I suggest that the manipulator appear on the section plane itself. Or is this just a feature that I have misunderstood?
Also, perhaps as a bonus, while you're at it, please add a trivial way to flip the normal of the view. (Yes, I know that I can tilt the plane by 180°, but that is somewhat cumbersome.)
