That is where the help texts for the menus are shown, though.

though what ?
i know that there the menu-help-texts are shown, and this should be not affected,
but most of the time we don't crawl around the menus and then we can show the full path&filename in the statusbar.
thomas:
Though what? Well, the menu help resets the status bar to wxEmtpyString. Look what happens to "Welcome to Code::Blocks".
So your filename won't be visible for long really (unless you set up a Timer or something and repeatedly set it).
Also the status field might be used by other things to display a current status as well. For example, I use it when running version control transactions that involve several operations, so the user sees what is going on.
This does not mean that it is not possible to show the current editor's filename there, but it may cause conflicts.

it's not a big issue
Vampyre_Dark:
What about a hover popup thing?
You hold your mouse over the file in the list/tree thing and after a second, and little tolltip/popup thing shows the fullname.
