Excellent! That fix has now been committed to the source repository.

That's good enojgh. Thanks. As long as each individual key and bar position is 
doing the right thing, combinations will work.

That's probably status information which hasn't been designed well for a 
horizontal status area. I'm somewhat surprised that it isn't the first 60 cells 
that area okay, but that could be from previously saved preferences. In any 
event, I'll have another look through that code, but there's something you can 
do right away.

Go into the preferences menu and find the selector for "Status Field 1". I 
suspect it's set to "Generic". To get rid of status cells algotether, change it 
to "End". You can, of course, configure as many status fields as you'd like to 
contain whatever information would be useful to you. Remember to save your 
preferences when you're done.
