What do you call the "DRC status bar"?
There are many sources of DRC. Go to setup->constraints->modes to see what's on or off.
Display->color, go to stack-up, there are drc layers here too.
display->status, this is the best place to look for errors: you can click on update DRC here and you can see sources of errors too.
The secret of the status is that the little colored squares are buttons you can click on... Not obvious. What do they show?
