What do you think about this kind of behaviour? I used something similar to what assistants are having. It keeps the position on the canvas under the selection, but moves with the canvas, so it feels more “sticky” to the selection and doesn’t go over it. And when the selection moves out of the bounds, the bar also goes that way except it stops at the edges. Exactly like assistants do.
It’s just a rough draft for now (for example trying it with the transform tool would introduce blinking) but I plan to have it remember the offset the user introduced in case you wouldn’t like the 100-pixels-below rule. And so far it doesn’t update properly when rotating. But I will make sure it will work well with both (though it probably won’t follow the transformation until you apply it).
