Your Build No '12.0.3127.15483' is quite old.
Have you already applied Update1, Update2?

Did you TRY and reproduce the report in a later view or are you just paying lip service to the reports?

Picking people up because they've entered in an incorrect build number is not providing a useful service other than delaying an otherwise valid report.

When tab images are turned off the IDE behaves like all previous versions.  When you change the tab to a unit that has been modified the text "Modified" is present in the status bar at the bottom of the code editor.

However, even if tab images are turned off you can quickly see which units are modified by clicking the "Select view..." drop down button (the down arrow next to the close button).  The icons do show up there and will indicate which units have been modified.

Perhaps it does operate like previously versions of Delphi but I think it is a design failure. You can't see the status bar of a file that isn't the current file in the editor.
