     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new                      
 Priority:  normal  |   Milestone:  6.4.0                    
Component:  wxGUI   |     Version:  svn-develbranch6        
 Keywords:          |    Platform:  Linux

--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 Some menus fold down very long and cover the status bar in the layer
 manager.
 Text in the status bar isn't readable anymore.

 Please find a way to retain the visibility of the status bar.

 Probably cannot be avoided with the current GUI layout. Better chance with
 MDI, see

Comment (by timmie):

 OK.
 But maybe you can use some on-mouse hover hints when going over the menus?
