MS_AUTORESTORESTATUSBAR is a variable in MSJ7.1.
The default value is 1, which causes MicroStation to restore the Status Bar to its default display mode as soon as your mouse enters into it (no clicking required). This resets the Status Bar to display the Snaps and Locks and whatever else might have been momentarily hidden from view by MicroStation error messages, which are displayed in the same area. Setting this variable to "0" will allow MicroStation to work the way it used to in earlier versions, requiring a mouse click to restore the Status Bar default display. Since MicroStation also uses that Status Bar to display information such as the results of using the measure command, you may want to disable this (set to 0) so that you can read the results and must explicitly click to restore the Status Bar
