George,
v2.7.22340
I'm not sure the status bar is picking up the correct colour schemes Never noticed before, but I was working with restricted BOUNDS today and teh STATUS BAR shows them 'highligthed' as a reminder that we're not in 1,MAX territory any more.
Please take a look at the attached screen shot. My 'normal' Status bar is White text on Dark-Blue background. The highlighted version ought to be White text on a 'sort-of' golden background (Status Line BG2 Alternatee), but it comes out Red Text on a Black Background. Quite effective (I may keep it), but it looks to me as if it has picked up the "DIFF Deleted Lines" scheme by mistake.

Stefan: No, it's not 'drifting' into the DIFF color schemes. Those are specific color choices triggered when BNDS are non standard.
Yet another SPFLite peculiarity nobody knows about and not documented anywhere.

Guys, I've no issue with it ASIS, other than the confusion that arose because the 'feature' uses a bespoke colour scheme, ignoring whatever the user has requested via OPTIONS - SCREEN. I only raised this as a bug, because the Red-on-Black choice happened(!) to be in my colour scheme just 3 away from the Status Bar scheme, which hence could have been a code typo.

George: This thread reminded me to ask why
BNDS is not supported by SORT .
SPF and SPF/PC sort ( change) only data in BNDS Area while SPFLite changes complete Line .
Thanks

Well, I agree with Robert. Not that supporting BNDS is impossible, it's just that SORT is already quite complicated (like sorting scattered Tag ranges). BNDS means more validation (keys must be within BNDS range), more pre-setup before the actual sort, and revised store-it-all-back code. Throw in questions like 'what if the line length doesn't contain the BNDS range at all', or only partially?
And on and on. Done this kind of minor addition in the past, it's never as simple as it appears.
CUT the data to the clipboard, blank all non-BNDS columns, SORT it. and do a PASTE ORR range back over the original file.
Safer, and it exists NOW.
