Description _ tboudreau 2002-05-23 16:47:32 UTC 
The status line is useful for new users.  It is
annoying to users
familiar with NetBeans.  Right now, the only way
to close it is from
Tools | Options.  It should be possible to close
it from a context
menu by right-clicking the status line.

Note the original proposal does contain a mockup
labeled Context
Menu, but it would not load (server problem I
think).  Perhaps
this was actually included in the spec - at any
rate, it should be.
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-05-23 17:05:16 UTC 
I assign it to myself.
Note: Add action to context menu makes the problems.
The mini status bar is a part of core but tree view on which a context
menu is created, is a part of openide. My tendency has been minimize
any impact on openide (because the third parties building on the top
openide never asked for it). I could use a hack for it but I haven't
been sure it is too asked. I try prepare a patch for it and discuss it
with team.
Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2002-07-09 16:45:45 UTC 
Dusane, could you look on this? May I close as wontfix if mini status
bar will be disabled as default?
Comment 3 _ tboudreau 2002-07-09 20:59:21 UTC 
If it's disabled by default, fine, don't bother coding it
now;  but probably someday it will not be disabled by default.
I'd suggest changing the status to LATER instead, since it 
would be preferable not to have to re-file this bug or re-open it.
Comment 4 dpavlica 2002-07-10 10:57:15 UTC 
Ministatus bar isn't disabled by default now.
If it's possible to implement this ability for open/close 
mini status bar by popup menu, then it should be done. But 
I know that it's not easy because of mentioned hack. Then 
I suggest to implement it for release 4.0 like is in UI 
specification:

Comment 11 Jiri Rechtacek 2003-02-19 16:18:30 UTC 
It's not planned be implement in 3.5, it's not defect but enhancement
I think. If I'm wrong set it back.
