I am curious how 3 dots in the status bar are a “large problem” for you. Seems weird. If it’s getting in the way of your control panel or notifications, swipe further to the side.
Go back and read that comment again. They're telling OP that the original question doesn't make sense because "you can just swipe from somewhere else." OP is being told that his question doesn't make sense, and that's not really something we should go around saying.
