Eclipse 2019-09, can't see the current column number in the status bar

Viewed 803

I've noticed the following on Eclipse 2019-09 R (4.13.0) for macOS, but it might have happened before: I can't see the current line columns anymore on the status bar:

Eclipse status bar

for the obvious reason that the box is too small and the abbreviation is triggered. But I can't find a way to extend it, I've already tried to click and drag with no luck. This is very annoying when I need it.

Is there some option to change this?

This is Eclipse bug 551387 which is marked as fixed in Eclipse 2019-12 (4.14)

A workaround is to turn off 'Show cursor position in the status line' in the 'General > Editors > Text Editors' page of the Preferences.
