This is a minor bug, but I think the new
statusText cvar has the wrong default value
It's "0" (shown on mouseover) instead of "1" (always shown)
Setting the "Numerical" option again properly sets the cvar to "1"
InterfaceOptionsPanels.lua#L1570-L1592
Code:
GetCVarDefault("statusTextDisplay") -> "NUMERIC"
GetCVarDefault("statusText") -> "0"
To reproduce it you can reset the cvars (This is different from using the Reset to Defaults button)
Code:
/run for _, v in pairs({"statusText", "statusTextDisplay"}) do SetCVar(v, GetCVarDefault(v)) end
