           Summary: Status bar is too restricted and small for long status

           Product: krita
           Version: 5.0.0-beta1

SUMMARY
During translation for UI, I came across this text:

msgid "Drag to change curve directly. Double click to insert new path point."
msgstr ""
"Kéo rê để trực tiếp thay đổi đường cong. Bấm đúp để chèn thêm điểm mới trên "
"đường dẫn."

By examining the translation result on the display, I stumbled across this
situation, where the text, English as well as Vietnamese, doesn't display
clearly and got cut off with '...' in the middle, making the present of it
useless to users.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita, use 1920x1080, 300dpi layout for a new drawing
2. Remove the default painting layer, insert a Vector layer
3. Use any brush to draw a rectangle
4. Use Edit Shape tool to move cursor on the shape and drag the point to the
left to round corners, notice the status message on the bottom left, which is
short and can be read fully.
5. Right click the mouse and choose 'To Path' to convert the rectangle to path.
6. Now use the 'Edit Shape tool' again to move into lines between points, and
you'll see the message 'Drag to change curve directly. Double click to insert
new path point.' (with '...' place in the middle of the text, indicating the
message has been 'cut-off'. In English, since the text is SHORT in comparison
with other languages, the text is still obscure enough to get annoyed,
especially for new users. In Vietnamese, it is even worse.

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
Tried to look for a way to pop-out the status bar so I can read what is printed
there, but there seemed to be no options to do that at the moment.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Catalina 10.15.7
