BUG? -- "Lines Selected" Message is Lost

[tlapaso]

Hello,

I'm using v4.7.3. It seems that the "lines selected" message that appears in the status bar is easily lost when switching between editor windows or even when switching from TextPad to another application and back to TextPad.

try this:

1. Open a new TextPad editor window (call this "Winodw A") and type a few lines of text. Then, selected one or more lines of the text. In the status bar you should see a message indicating how many lines of text are selected.
2. Open a second window.
3. Now click on the title bar of Window A. Even though the text is still selected the status bar message is now missing.

This behavior can also be duplicated by using the following steps 2 and 3 (keeping step 1):
2. Activate some other application (say, Explorer or IE or whatever).
3. Click on the TextPad title bar or Window A's title bar. Even though the text is still selected the status bar message is missing.

Thanks
