[Bug 876605] Re: URL not shown in status bar in Thunderbird 7

 

Please disregard that, I managed to track it down.
The user interface mess is caused by the SyncKolab addon I have installed.
When disabling it, everything looks normal.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Title:
  URL not shown in status bar in Thunderbird 7

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Version:  7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Distribution: Ubuntu 11.10

  When I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 this weekend, I noticed that the new
  Thunderbird is lacking a feature I consider crucial for an email
  client: When hovering the mouse cursor over a link inside a RSS feed
  or email, the status bar doesn't show the actual URL the link points
  to. This feature worked fine in previous Thunderbird versions, now
  it's gone.

  Is this intended behavior, and if yes, why was this feature removed?

  Acreenshot of the URL _not_ showing in the status bar is attached, the
  spot marked in red is where the URL was supposed to be printed.
