Description Michael Knepher 2011-03-21 17:58:09 UTC
If I am browsing in list view and select a file, a status pop-up appears showing "Filename selected (x.x KB)". If the filename is long enough, this pop-up will span the entire width of the browser pane, and you cannot see or interact with the item being obscured by the pop-up (selecting multiple files, for example). 

I'm not sure the pop-up as implemented is the best replacement for the status bar. If it is going to stay, it will be necessary to make it perhaps fade when moused over, and make items underneath clickable, or add an empty row to the end of the list view to allow the final item to appear just above where the pop-up is drawn.
