Kate/Kwrite 16.04.2 Kate part 5.23.0 Arch Linux & KDE Neon The option to toggle the status bar no longer appears in the settings menu. This option existed a month or two ago. I can still toggle the status bar by manually editing katerc/kwriterc in ~/.config Reproducible: Always
Seems to have been fixed in Kate 16.04.3 / Frameworks 5.24.0
