I my opinion it would be great to have a possibility to combine status bar and the bottom bar where output, search restults etc buttons are placed. I have only 3 buttons on it and a lot of free space to the right. And status bar 90% of time is blank as well, so it would be great idea to save some vertical space here
See issue 123344 and the spec linked from there. Thanks for your report. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 123344 ***
