📄 Description

Problem

On high-DPI systems, the status bar was partially clipped:

Hardcoded status bar height (22px) caused bottom truncation.
Fixed part widths caused rightmost panels (encoding / line endings / zoom) to be cut.

Solution

Compute the actual status bar height at runtime instead of using a hardcoded value.
Dynamically size status bar parts based on text width and current DPI.

Result

No more clipping on high-DPI displays.
Correct layout across different DPI scales and system themes.

How to test

Run the app on a system with DPI scaling >100%.
Toggle the status bar.
Resize the window and verify the bottom/right areas are fully visible.
