JClient status bar doesn't react to some panels?

Question

Hi,
JClient 9.0.5.2/10.1.2beta
The status bar doesn't react to all data bound panels in a same binding context?
I have a main form with a tabbed panel.
Each tab panel is composed of ADF bound panels.
All those bound panels receive their Binding Context from the main form.
Everything works fine:
- all navigation bars are synchronized
- all master-detail relations are respected
Except the status bar.
In some panels the status bar doesn't react to navigation or when an editable field has focus.
Examples:
The 2 first panels are based on the same ViewObject/iterator.
The first panel is based on a table template, the second on a single record template.
The status bar works for the first panel but not for the second?
The status bar doesn't react to the third panel events:
on this panel all navigation bar buttons are disabled except the transaction buttons.
The ViewObject is a detail of a master ViewObject in a different panel (in the master panel the status bar works fine)?
The API says:
When a dataItemName is specified, it tracks the status of the rowset to which it is bound; otherwise, it tracks the status of the data bound control (Rowset) which currently has the focus.
In my case in the main form I didn't specify the dataItemName.
I tought that the status bar management was implicit => all data bound events in a same BindingContext are displayed by the status bar.
In some cases it doesn't seem to be true.
To make it work should I change the model of the status bar?
Your help will be appreciated.

SOLUTION I FOUND:
I noticed in the XML files of the panels that didn't react, the main iterator wasn't first in the list.
I moved those iterator definitions to the beginning of the their XML file and after that, the status bar works as expected.
I found this by tracing the iterator bindings of each panelBinding.
I wrote a little method in the main form for this purpose.
Let's say you have following panel reference in your main form.
private PanelEmpVO1 panelEmp = new PanelEmpVO1();
After setting the binding context of this panel, you call the method:
printPanelIterBindingList(panelEmp.getPanelBinding(),"panelEmp");
The method:
public void printPanelIterBindingList(String panelName, JUPanelBinding jpb)
ArrayList ibl = jpb.getIterBindingList();
System.out.println("printPanelIterBindingList BEGIN, panelName: "+panelName);
for (int i = 0; i < ibl.size(); i++)
Object ob = ibl.get(i);
if (ob instanceof JUIteratorBinding)
System.out.println("iterBindingList, panelName: "+panelName+", JUIteratorBinding: i = "+i+", name = "+((JUIteratorBinding)ob).getName()+", VOName: "+((JUIteratorBinding)ob).getVOName()
+", BindingContainer name : "+((JUIteratorBinding)ob).getBindingContainer().getName());
else
if (ob instanceof DCIteratorBinding)
System.out.println("iterBindingList, panelName: "+panelName+", DCIteratorBinding: i = "+i+", name = "+((JUIteratorBinding)ob).getName()+", VOName: "+((JUIteratorBinding)ob).getVOName());
else
System.out.println("iterBindingList, panelName: "+panelName+", unknown object: i = "+i+", object class name = "+ob.getClass().getName());
Remark:
For master-detail panels, you must get the panelBinding of each panel.
