Solved V 6.7 | Status Info Overlay shows while Status Bar set to Hide

[Pathduck]

@adacom Looks like you have the Status Bar set to Overlay (Settings > Appearance)
It just shows the url when you hover the cursor over any link.

Why the url shows so strangely for you I have no idea.
CSS mods?
Some obscure combination of settings?
Extensions messing with things again?

Please try the troubleshooting steps, including testing in a clean profile and disabling adblocking/extensions:

@Pathduck - thanks will investigate - as said its just appeared on the last 2 snapshots - - from my side other than updating i have changed no settings - most odd but thats the nature of snapshots i guess

[adacom]

@Pathduck - what am i missing - clean install latest snapshot - nothing added - hide status bar

clean install of any build before last 2 snapshots and nothing shows at bottom of page

and

[Pathduck]

@adacom Yes, that's how it's supposed to be.
The url has always shown at the bottom when the status bar is hidden.

What I was wondering about was why it looks like this for you:

Why is the .net and http missing?

[Pathduck]

Oh NOW I get it

Seems that when "Hide Status Bar" is chosen, in the latest Snapshots it still shows the Status Info Overlay i.e. the link url.

I guess you found a regression bug

Please read:

• Help us reproduce your issue
• How to report a bug for Vivaldi

carefully and report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker.
Please also post the bug-number (VB-#) here after reporting

Still don't know why your url looked so strange in your first screenshot, that must be something else, a bad CSS mod maybe.

Just upgraded Vivali and now there are pointless links on the bottom left when my mouse happens to hover over an url. How do I remove this?

[DoctorG]

@Onweerwolf Settings → Appearance → Statusbar → Hide

[Onweerwolf]

This is not the statusbar, see image.

[DoctorG]

@Onweerwolf Had you checked Settings → Appearance → Statusbar? Which setting is this?

Again: this is NOT the statusbar. It's a floating url tooltip kind of thing.

[DoctorG]

@Onweerwolf I see this now on my internal version.
A bug.

Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker. Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail. Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.

@DoctorG VB-105520 already reported.

It is indeed the status bar. It's just not supposed to show the url on link hover with the bar set to hidden. It's a bug.

Be that as it may, if I show the statusbar then there is a link in the actual statusbar and it's not floating.

[DoctorG]

@Onweerwolf Hide Statusbar setting should never show a floating tooltip with URL.
Visible Statusbar has the URL in the bar, that is ok.

Had you reported to bug tracker?

I don't know what that means. I filled in the bug report from your link and that's it.

I have the same "bug". Please advise when it is debugged. It is annoying.
