Status Field—Seeing State and Error Messages
If a problem occurs when you make a change to a field or if TotalView needs to tell you something about this window’s contents, it will display information here.
For example, if a variable is no longer in scope—that is, your program is no longer executing in a scope in which the variable is defined—TotalView tells you that the variable is stale.
