Follow-up Comment #3, bug #9191 (project wesnoth):
I was curious about your reasoning, so I checked the irclog.
"05:46 <alink> btw, i suppose that always displaying in status bar the
current active (doing something) unit is the good standard behavior"
For what my opinion is worth, I disagree with this. Constantly switching the
sidebar away from what the player/observer actually wants (as indicated by
them actively moving their mouse somewhere) would be a constant moment of
irritation at least for me. In other words, it is better if the user controls
what is displayed than the other way around...
In the above case, if the user initiated the action (e.g. an attack), s/he
already has the mouse on the attacking unit, so the sidebar will show its
information, unless the mouse is moved elsewhere. If it's an enemy's turn (or
if you're an observer), the user should be able to decide whether he wants to
see the info for a fighting unit or look at something else.

Please don't take this as a personal criticism, but instead as a feedback. I
have noticed that you pay attention to feedback from users and other
developers, which I very much appreciate - thank you for that. :-)
