            Bug ID: 92406
           Summary: STATUSBAR: Making the statusbar configurable in Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: ux-advise
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

As stated in bug 88367, we have many fields in the statusbar that are of little
use to main users, so rather than removing them as some are opposed to this,
these fields can be hidden by default and then enabled by users who wish to use
them.

Fields i think can be hidden by default :-
1) Text Language - Useful to users who write documents in multiple languages
2) Insert Mode - Cursor indicates which mode you are in
3) Selection Mode - available in Edit menu
4) Document Modified State - save toolbar button provides this functionality
5) Digital Signature - limited to users who digitally sign their documents

I would suggest that the option to enable/disable these fields be accessible in
a View > Statusbar submenu along with the the current View > Statusbar
checkbox. Alternatively, it would be available in the Tools > Options dialog
(LibreOffice Writer > View).
