That sounds totally broken. The status bar isn't part of the main view. 
We should either only treat clicks on the first visible column as not 
being background clicks, or add a dummy row at the end. Both has been 
proposed, some testing on what feels better has to be made. If we want 
to use the column solution, this is definitly 2.14 stuff.
