In the Project Properties, have a look in the Gerenral tab. You can set 
the coordinate display either todegrees or map units. For EPSG:4326 it 
was the same, for EPSG:3857 it is different.

It might be necessary to re-add the WMS to your project using the new 
project CRS, or the WMS does not offer EPSG:3857.
