I have noticed a small issue with the progress bar which is in the small 
panel at the top right of the windows editor, below the text line giving 
the status. The progress bar seems to be hiding some text (or something 
else?, see the attached snapshot). Not a big issue, but not totally 
elegant either.  I'm using version 3.7.0.beta.30.msvc8.win32, on win xp 
(sp2).

     Same set up here but it shows fine for me. It just says: Frame N/A. So 
I guess that it's the frame count if you're doing an animation.

If you have increased the PPI setting or are using somewhat enlarged fonts, the 
text become to high for the available space.
The total hight of the tool bar don't change acording to those settings.

The overlap changes if I change the font or it's size or the display's PPI.
As the window is usualy whide enough, puting the state and frame count side by 
side could be a solution.

ok, so it was text indeed.

As far as I can tell or remember, I have not changed the PPI or fonts 
settings. The strange point is precisely that, because the window is 
wide, there is lots of free space on the left of the panel containing 
the text + the progress bar - but not in the panel itself. And I have 
found no way to increase the width of the panel.

I've put a work-around to this in the next beta: the progress bar is now
auto-sized to fit in the remaining area, and if the area remaining is too
small, it won't be shown at all (better than obliterating the text I think).

FWIW, the traditional solution is to draw the text over top of the progress 
bar. Possibly not worth the effort, possibly trivial, depending on the 
libraries you're using. :-)

Directly the Windows API, last time I looked :)
