Make the corner widgets automatically disappear in small objects
Sometimes when I'm editing small shapes, I accidentally click and drag the corner widgets and end up rounding the object's edges instead of transforming their size. I believe that when it comes to small objects it doesn't make sense to have the corner widget visible as it is not possible to have precision in the rounding of the edges, so it would make sense to make it disappear automatically. This could be related with zoom levels, so when I zoom in that small object, the widgets reappear.
I know that it is possible to disable them, but they are quite useful, but sometimes they get in the way of transforming objects and it's really annoying.

The "rounding dots" at corner anchor points - those tools rounding corners - can be a pain ********** when I'm trying to select and drag anchor points, and end up accidently rounding corners instead. It's damaged more than a few files, forcing me deep into "undo"s or going to Time Machine to recover un-rounded art.
It would be nice if we could turn that feature off when we don't want it.
