That is just constant show in the titlebar, put it behind an option and only
change "Modified" to "*" if enabled. I don't want to see constantshow in the
titlebar, especially if it means losing "Modified". I don't even want to lose
"Modified" for the scrollbar. But as it stands now, constantshow is the only
option available. The current scrollbar percentage and down arrow most likely
won't work when soft-wrap is enabled. And the scrollbar shouldn't change
behavior or disable itself for soft-wrap.
