Show distance to nearby vertices
It is easier to make decision about moving if blender shows the nearby distance to the object. However, we can see it once we press the G key but if it shows by default it would be much easier.

Hrm yeah I don't know that I agree with this exactly. Your "intended behavior" might be what you would like to see, but it's definitely not the intended behavior as it is described in the manual. I think what you are asking for is a completely new measurement based on the selection bounds.
Well, description says "selected edge lengths", and it does display distances of fully selected edges . Your suggestion method pictures show distances of border between selected vert / edges and unselected edges, that just gonna make measurement unpredictable. Using that logic selecting top of cylinder would show measurement of ridges and selecting ridges would show nothing?
Though I wish there "active only" mode, with this setting measurement would be only show for (typically) last selected edge / face, that way there would be much less information noise but it's still gonna be predicable.
Also have the issue while submitting the idea in Blender RCS youtu.be/K5xHPpxP1WI
