    Currently the status bar/line displays the current line, column and number of selected characters.  I would like to see the number of selected lines instead or as well.

      That could be handy, but have you tried displaying line numbers so you can just subtract the first from the last? Settings/Preferences/Edit Components/Display Line Number Margin.

        Of course I can subtract but I would rather not have to :)

        I thought I was onto something with vertical selection: I selected only the first character of several lines but the status bar still counts all characters in the lines :( This seems like a small bug; unless I misunderstand what the Sel: value is supposed to display.

    I second this request. It would be extremely useful.
