Summary	0009980: Region highlight bars at top of regions
Description	By default region filenames are shown at top left corner of each region In `Preferences - Appearance - Editor` there is a setting `Use name-highlight bars in region displays (requires a restart)` which add a label bar to each region However this setting ends up placing the label bar at the bottom of each region. To me this is visually confusing because header bars are typically at the top of items. Suggesting to add a sub setting to this setting that would allow these label bars to appear at the top of each region instead. Unless I am not thinking of something that would conflict with label bars being at the top. Thank You

They just waste precious vertical space, and that option was initially only added for backwards compatibility. Maintaining them and handling edge-case is already often more work that it's worth.. (and they're currently somewhat broken already).
