With D7410 in April we got a 3DView overlay to show scene statistics. That was part one of design T75672, which at the time (and is still the case today) intended that statistics be removed from the statusbar. Following that design the statusbar would show nothing by default, and at most would show version and memory usage. Because less information was to be shown there it made sense to change the arrangement of data in the statusbar.

Instead of showing information like this:

[ KeyInfo    |    Alerts Progressbar    |    Misc ]

It was changed to show it like this:

[ KeyInfo        |        Misc Alerts Progressbar ]

This change meant that alerts and the progressbar could have a permanent and unchanging location anchored at the bottom-right. Whenever you got a new alert it would always be seen at the same place and would just slide any existing text over to make room.

However users were (understandably) not happy with losing the option of showing statistics in the statubar, so it was added back in with D7557. But then we are back to showing more information down there. With narrow program width, or with large User Scale, this information can overflow to the right. Which means that alerts could be missed.

Therefore this patch brings the statusbar arrangement back to how it was before I started messing around:

[ KeyInfo    |    Alerts Progressbar    |    Misc ]
