Because status messages can appear inbetween, as we've already mentioned.
I don't want to delete "Text (Default)" by hand as I currently have to do.

ok, let me turn it on its head. I want to enter a command. /Why on earth/
do I now /have/ to chord my fingers to make M-x ? Why can't I just
enter the command like I could before ?
Can you really justify this additional barrier in terms of UI ?
I'm going to sit back now and let someone else comment. I can't be on
