I hope you're able to live with it, because it wears me out. :) I don't know if this bug was introduced in VFP8, and even if it affects all installations, but my STATUS BAR goes off at will. Even just clicking in a program I'm editing can make it turn off (even though SET("STATUS") will show "ON").
