[Greg Chicares]

branch: master
commit 5bb0b550b96b1543bbabf43a0c75d167af4756ad
Author: Gregory W. Chicares <address@hidden>
Commit: Gregory W. Chicares <address@hidden>

    Update statusbar smoothly (VZ)
    
    See:
      https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lmi/2018-06/msg00025.html
    | it is indeed possible with wxStatusBar -- wxWindow::Update() should
    | be called instead, to update the window appearance immediately.
    
    On the removal of wxSafeYield(), which caused "choppy" updates to the
    statusbar even with an immediate Update() call, see other messages in
    that thread.
