Created attachment 165653 [details] screenshot All since decades the selection status is not shown, except by a kind of tool tip. As you can see on the screenshot, there's room enough to the right to show terms like "Block", "Adding", "Standard" etc. If I want to secure the block selection mode at present, I have to click, move, see the tool tip, move back, click, move away ...... and so on 3 times. After performing some other tasks I must remember in what mode the selection is, because nothing is shown. Quite cumbersome when you got a lot of work to do. ;JOOP!
I agree. When it's enough space there could be shown. Also Version: 7.0.1.2 (x64) Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Dear Joop Lanting, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

This bug is still present in version 7.3.5 for MacOS Intel. A screenshot would be identical to the former one. ;JOOP!
Just installed 7.4.1 on MacOS 11.6.8 ("Big Sur" Intel version). The 'picture' is still the same. Remarks: 1) The current icon for selection mode has a hover, but the various icons remind me of the ancient Egyptian culture: not easy to understand. 2) Insert/Overwrite mode (left 'neighbour') is permanently shown as text. 3) The 'neighbour' to the right is even blank, but has a hover. Probably meant as an "Easter Egg". 4) The next space to the right would be quite enough for a selection state in text, but is not adjacent. Asks for a reorganisation of the screen. ;JOOP!
