Hi Mirek, what problem does this solve? Sure, we then have a slightly less crowded status bar, but on the other hand LibO's scrollbar will be shorter and less useful (cf. horizontal scrollbar in Calc).
It's something Jan Holešovský is working on -- he asked me to design it. The idea is to have the status bar hidden by default, moving key functionality elsewhere. Frankly, the status bar is a relic of the past, with modern UIs dropping it. If status information needs to be relayed to the user, it is now usually displayed in a small floating box in the bottom left corner of the window that disappears once the info is irrelevant. The status bar was never meant to carry clickable elements.
