SUMMARY Statusbar can't be hidden on git-tracked files because the branch button won't hide. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have some file that is tracked by git 2. Click Settings -> Disable "Show Statusbar" OBSERVED RESULT Statusbar (on the bottom of window) won't hide because it shows the button for current branch. Other content of the statusbar hides as expected, such as encoding and tab width. EXPECTED RESULT The whole statusbar hides.
