**Problem** When using Texture Paint mode, the Image Editor will show a UV Wireframe to display the active object's UVs. In every other mode, this wireframe is absent. This is currently a big problem for Sculpt Mode since the Experimental Texture Paint system is a part of that mode, meaning that the user can't see their UVs while they paint in Sculpt Mode. This is also troublesome for users that would like to quickly view an object's UVs without using Texture Paint Mode. **Solution** Since it's useful to be able to view an object's UVs at all times, the Image Editor should display UV Wireframes in all Object Modes regardless of the Image Editor's mode. This is the best solution since it means that future Blender features, that would benefit from having a preview of an object's UV Wireframes, will automatically have that option since UV Wireframes are supported in all modes. Also, if a user doesn't want to see UV Wireframes for any reason, it can be disabled with an Overlay option. Additionally, when multiple objects are selected, each object should have its UV Wireframe drawn in the Image Editor. The selected objects that aren't active should have less opaque wireframes to indicate which wireframe belongs to the active object. This is the best approach for having multiple objects selected since it allows the user to quickly view the UV layout for all selected objects to troubleshoot UV problems, like texture mapping. This is especially helpful when using a material for multiple different objects. An alternative solution would be to only show the UV Wireframe for the active object, but this would be undesirable because it would make troubleshooting UV positions tedious when working with multiple objects since the user would need to select objects individually.
