Remove header space above textbox

The header or handle above a textbox should not take up extra vertical space like every visual. This extra vertical space makes it difficult to use textboxes as labels throughout the page. Consider a report page with a lot of visuals that have been meticulously positioned and aligned along with textboxes for labels, each having extra white space above them. Overlapping multiple visuals is cumbersome and confusing for users.
If I need to add a title in the top of the page, the space above the textbox is wasted.

RE: Remove header space above textbox

This is a very well required feature. The handle above all visualization need not be outside the visualization. Also It should be optional, once it is embedded onto an application.

Its not only in text box the handler or white space exists for other visuals too (including and imported image). Basically nothing can be pinned at the top of the page as the handler will always take up some space.
