Mouse-over link doesn't show URL in status bar. I use this a lot, to find out where I'm about to go visit if I click.

Nisheeth was supposed to be adding support to the webshell to enable this in M6. I'll see where that stands and if it's in place, I can code it up pretty quickly, else we'll have to wait.

I'm moving this to M7. It requires a bit more work than can be safely managed for M6.

This should be working in tomorrow's build (1999 Jun 09).

Well...verifying on the 6.16.99 AM build [all 3 platforms, it works for HTTP URLs. However, it doesn't work for anything else I've tried, e.g.: * telnet URLs (e.g. such as on angalon.tamu.edu) * mailto URLs (e.g. such as on, say, people.netscape.com/sfraser) Thus, I'm re-opening for mcafee's $.02.

Let's handle the rest of these later ...

The failure to display the URL for some links is a problem in the underlying Gecko layout code or the nsWebShell. This bug should be reassigned to reflect that fact.

Preliminary test case with 11 link types posted at http://www.serve.com/apg/bugzilla/6086.html. The only links that seem to be showing up in the status bar in M7(Win32) are about:, file: and http: links.

Moving this to M9, not high enough on my list for M8.

m9 move doesn't look like it took, tring again

I'm going to wait until Necko lands and see if this goes away.

As hoped for this seems to magically work with the landing of Necko.

Verified fixed --- thanks to pglendinning@cen.com's excellent test case --- on this morning's Mac OS & Win32 builds. Will formally mark as verified when we have a Linux build that launches.

Verified fixed using 1999081001 Linux build. However, I'm deferring to pglendinning@cen.com on verification, since I see "[MAKINGTEST]" in the status, and would like to hold a bit if there's more he intended to do.

Stamping Verified, based on previous comments.
