UI: VSE: Region overlap support in the sequencer preview

Can we have region overlap support in the vse preview area like in other 2d views in blender? or is it a bug?

as you can see, the bars from the n and t panels are there eating precious space even though region overlap is enabled in the preferences. it should be transparent showing the content

But in this case preview area would be occluded by left and right panels with "Auto Zoom" (Zoom to Fit), which is not desirable. Unlike 3D view, here we have only limited area which preferably should be always fully visible.

The proposed behavior would work well only with zoom level larger than "Fit". So "Auto Zoom" in that case should be less than Zoom to Fit from other 2D editors to work well without panels occlusion.
