Comment (by westonruter):

 Here's a fix for the text selection issue to prevent toggling the icons
 while dragging: https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-
 develop/pull/179/commits/dcd5ffeb65360d371fe0a7337b2cc6c50f6cdee5

 To apply the patch, do `grunt patch:https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-
 develop/pull/179`

 > How do you know you can click in the preview?

 Not sure the best way to advertise that clicking into the preview will
 cause the edit buttons to appear. Maybe they could be shown momentarily
 when the page first loads and then fade away.

 > What happens if your hand/mouse slips, and you click right next to the
 icon by accident?

 Then the icons would currently be toggled off and you'd have to
 click/touch again to get them to re-appear.
