Mouse-over links do not display the link in status bar.

Unread post by gld_moonpale » 2019-01-02, 05:41

OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

The status bar doesn't show links, although I think I have the configured correctly in the settings. It doesn't work in safe mode either.

The status bar seems to work fine when I run the browser as administrator. It also seems to work fine on my laptop with Windows 7.

I think when I installed this version's update, the status bar was missing, and I had to go to view to make it show up again.
