A good point.  If you check the "Use editor" option (which opens a separate window for editing the text) then 
you don't NEED the on-canvas text editor at the same time.  And while you can, for example, disable 
visibility on the text layer while the text editor window is open, this only affects the visibility of the 
text itself; the on-canvas controls remain visible and there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust that.
