Why are Translate Tools on the Viewport blocked by panes?

Why are the translate tools on the Viewport blocked by the panes on the right?

I realize that I can minimize the other panes in order to see the tools or open the separate "View" pane, but is there an option to have the entire Viewport window shrink or grow while maintaining it's aspect ratio and always see the translate tools and gismo instead of having that info blocked by panes and having the View window always be the same size? 

Botton line: I would like to be able to shrink and grow the viewport window proportionately and always see the gismo and translate tools on it's right side.

Close the Shader Mixer pane, and possibly the Shader Builder pane, which are currently docked with the Viewport - you can do this by right-clicking on their tabs and selecting the Close Pane option

Saw this starting with 4.9 on my MacBook.  There seems to have been a bug dealing with smaller screen real estate.  It does seem to have been repaired in the most recent public Beta.

Thanks. I closed a nearby pane and that worked.
