And in fact if you open a file in text-mode on Windows, \n is converted to CR+LF - that is one of the ideas behind using "\n" and text-mode.
So I can't really see why "\n" should not be correct when I write a string to the statusbar, just as well as it works correct when it is a label.
And it is a disaster for portability, if "\n" should be "\r\n" on Windows and even something else on Mac.
Did you test it, just to sort out if the issue is the \n not automatically being translated into \r\n or not.
I've just tried to insert "\r\n" - now I see two squares (fallback characters).
So it seems that statusbar on Windows has some problems handling both "\r" and "\n"!
