Feedback ยท In profile editing, still show the give/take arrows and the "there is a context here" ellipsis (implemented)

It is a good thing that interests are collapsed by default while we're in edit mode, but right now it's hard to keep track of which ones have a description added, and what the various give/take statuses are, whilst we're editing - unless we leave the editor together and have our profile open in view mode in another tab as well. Could those arrows and the ellipsis show up in edit mode, to tell us what's been set to what?

For context, I'd use the ellipsis to tell me what descriptions I might need to review or which ones I might still want to add, and I'd use the arrows to determine if I need to switch some things around.

Yes, this - I poked about it before, but forgot to make a feedback for it. It is a big issue for me not to be able to quickly scan profile for possible places where I can give even more details, so this would be great.
Alternatively, the arrow could be white for when the context is not set (the un-collapse arrow).

Now that you mention it, being able to distinguish between nothing set and the option that correlates to your top/bottom or dom/sub role (whichever it is, I've forgotten) would actually be more important in editing, so that we can have that overview of how we've configured everything. That would be a nice-to-have ideal thing though, considering the probable difficulty of squeezing one more state in there that could be distinctly told apart. Fontawesome's minus (fortawesome.github.io) could work, for instance, but would be hard to tell apart from the various arrows.

Wait what am I saying. We don't need a special symbol for nothing set, we just need to show all three arrows. (But, they could be hard to distinguish from each other.)
