R-click in the Menu/Navigation area shows the Status Bar option here. I can turn it on and off (with 3 icons on it).
If you go into the Menu and hover over >Preferences there should be the same option to uncheck the Status Bar (or use Ctr and / Keys).
Does that work for you?
* Also, is it only the Status Bar missing in the right-click options, and other options for Navigation Bar, Menu Bar,etc... are there?

I would guess so... and try to disable (temporarily) the most related add-ons first, which might modify the user interface. One after the other, with restarts after each one.

*edit: I just had a similar problem, caused by an add-on. From the advice I got, it could also be caused by a (Full) Theme that you are using.

Why can you not just pull down the View manu, choose Toolbars, and uncheck Status Bar?

If you press the keys Control, Shift, / at the same time, does this toggle the Status Bar on and off?
*depends on the keyboard layout. Ctrl+/ is the normal command, but I have to use Shift-key too, for the slash /

Well then, since you're not sure of what you call the status bar, can you give us a screenshot of what you're trying to remove?

From the icons, looks like you have Menu Wizard installed. If so, use that to reenable Status Bar menu entry.

... and if "Menu Wizard" doesn't bring the Status Bar options back, I would recommend a test to disable those other 3rd party toolbars (LastPass and S3. Google Translator), one after the other, which might have replaced/disabled/corrupted the Status Bar (options).

Or use Ctrl + / to do it with the keyboard.
