Yep.

While I'm fine with folding away some of the verbose fields, the
current implementation is jarring.  I also get the flicker before the
fold happens, but the sentence describing status doesn't seem like a
good idea for regular users.  I would expect only the "second box"
from the top to get folded.

Making folding a per-user setting would be appropriate.
