The drafts module doesn't exist in the current version, have you tried if the
behavious you describe persists there ? If so, could you provide sample code
that shows the behaviour ?

Here's the corresponding piece of code:
     ..........
        try {
            
            oInterface = (XInterface) oMSF.createInstance
( "com.sun.star.frame.Desktop" );
            oDesktop = ( XDesktop ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface( XDesktop.class, 
oInterface );
            oCLoader = ( XComponentLoader ) UnoRuntime.queryInterface( 
XComponentLoader.class, oDesktop );
            PropertyValue [] szEmptyArgs = new PropertyValue [0];
            String doc = "private:factory/swriter";
            aDoc = oCLoader.loadComponentFromURL(doc, "_blank", 0, 
szEmptyArgs );
            oDoc = (XTextDocument) UnoRuntime.queryInterface
(XTextDocument.class, aDoc);
            
            XFrame xFrame=(XFrame)oDesktop.getCurrentFrame();
      try {
	com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet xPropSet =
(com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet) UnoRuntime.queryInterface
(com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet.class, xFrame );
                
                Object aLayoutManager =xPropSet.getPropertyValue
( "LayoutManager" );
XLayoutManager xLayoutManager =(XLayoutManager) UnoRuntime.queryInterface
(drafts.com.sun.star.frame.XLayoutManager.class, aLayoutManager );
                xLayoutManager.setVisible( false );
        }
       catch (  com.sun.star.beans.UnknownPropertyException aExc )
	{
	}
	catch (  com.sun.star.lang.WrappedTargetException aExc )
	{
	}
            
        } // end of try
    
        catch(Exception e){
            
            System.out.println(" Exception " + e);
            
        } // end of catch
     .......

sw->cd: seems the statusbar is repainted at the position where the office
remembers it to be ... the macro

	xFrame = ThisComponent.currentController.Frame
	xLayoutManager = xFrame.LayoutManager
	xLayoutManager.setVisible(false)

attached to a document reproduces the behaviour

cd: Accepted. setVisible should correctly hide the status bar, so we have to fix
this. I will choose a proper target when I have a fix for this.
