For the IE users, the following solution will clear the status zoom bar from your game window.
Open up new window and click View, then click on Toolbars, then click or put a check mark next to status bar. Then uncheck this box, and you should lose the status bar on the game you're about to play. I hope that makes sense.
This solution is working for me, however I have to perform this chore for each game. Hope this helps.
