Voting for WONTFIX.

A workaround is described in comment 10, another is to just select the line
(pos1, shift+end). You can also write a macro. Starting perhaps with this:

| oPos=thisComponent.GetCurrentController.ViewCursor
| x = oPos.Position.x/254 //twips
| y = oPos.Position.y/478
| ThisComponent.CurrentController.StatusIndicator.Start(x & ":" & y,0)
| (doesn't work out the box)

Showing the total word/character count _and_ the cursor position with line and
col as known from text editors would clutter the status bar. That could be
solved with a toggle function (context menu to chose what to show) rather than
tooltip. But I think the cursor position is not of general interest at
formatted documents.
