I understand your well-founded reasons. The BOM suggestion wasn't specifically for me, but for the millions of Win-Excel users who just double-click and that's it. It was just a suggestion to save you potential "It's not working properly" reports
No problem for me.

THANK YOU!!! That was on my list of suggestions. Check. Much more convenient this way.

"Ideally", the width of both values could be fixed (five digits?), so that the
Line: Col: headers wouldn't jump when moving the cursor (but that might be asking too much, hehe).

I would consider it. You are the third to ask for that change. We need to hear from other testers to get a consensus.

Thanks for considering it.

IMHO, Sigil already has too many settings right now, so adding one to disable a new feature is probably not going to happen unless there is a negative impact on editing speed, but none has been detected or reported. So there are no downsides to adding that info to the status line.

Again, the request wasn't specifically for me. But whenever an application adds a feature, someone might prefer to disable it: because they don't find it useful, because of limited screen space, etc. Providing an option to disable it, if it's not difficult to implement, is always welcome.
That's all, no other interest on my part.
Thanks again for your time and consideration!
