Unused (?) status bar hint about flowed text

Summary:

I couldn't trigger these two sentences to show up in the status bar while using the text tool.

One possibly only shows up when using the old flowed text type, but the other should probably show up at some point...?

Or maybe I just didn't find the right thing to do that triggers it?

If it's not needed, it should be merged with the other message that is shown.

and

Steps to reproduce:

Use the text tool, use it with text and non-text objects, click and drag around, write, edit...

What happened?

The texts don't show up

What should have happened?

I think they are meant to shop up whenever someone edits some kind of flowed text. Although the part about selecting text by dragging is missing, which is in the message that is shown instead. 🤷🏼
