Automatic "Turn on Gizmos" option
When the show_gizmo flag is set to False, and you try to draw a measurement, you get the warning in the Blender Info Log:
Gizmos hidden in this view.
This seems like Blender should just offer the option to turn on the show gizmo option. The user is notified that their desired action cannot be completed, and the way to make it happen has one obvious solution: Turn on the Show Gizmo button.
Since it is a singular obvious solution, Blender should just offer to do it when the warning is raised. Perhaps by showing a dialogue where the mouse drag was started that says "Gizmos are turned off, but need to be turned on to show measurements." And a button that says "Turn on Gizmos"
This idea was originally proposed in this bug report: projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/148522
