One additional note:
The default behavior of the Status window actually seems to be to
HIDE the Reason below the visible edge of the window. It's so
consistent that it seems like it might even be on purpose.

Ideally, form follows function, right? If the overarching purpose
of Intermapper is to tell us what's wrong with our networks, then
I'd say let's see the Reason either at the top of the Status
display or otherwise brought into focus by default -- no additional
steps. I want to see directly what Intermapper is saying is
wrong. Having to do the extra drags, scrolls and clicks to get to
the Reason feels like the tool is circumventing itself.
Perhaps another context is needed besides the Status window for
Reason display? Shift+Click and hold?

Could we make a poll about this??? ;-)
I can't figure out who it would be bad for..
Some probes (NT Services and Host Resources, to name two off the
top of my head) can have very long reasons, which would push
everything else down so that it needs to be scrolled to.
I'm not going to do a formal poll at this point, but anyone who
feels strongly about it one way or the other can certainly comment
on it in response to your post, and I'll read the comments.
