Is it possible to show the character length of your selected text in the status bar? for example in PyCharm as well as many other editors it show the line and column position and when you have some text selected it shows the char count

However in VSCode it just shows the line and column position

But when I select a piece of text, it disappears.

Is this a bug in my installation or is it something i have to enable ?

This should be shown by default:

I notice that your space between "Live Share" and "Spaces: 4" is quite small. Maybe the longer string on a selection does not fit in there. Have you tried expanding the Window or hide some of the status bar elements by right-clicking on it?
