New issue 5556 by jean.f.ackerman: Application mode problem: no pop-up indicator of URL when mouse hovers over embedded link in webpage http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5556 Chrome Version : 1.0.154.36 - running on Windows XP SP3 URLs (if applicable) : e.g. http://www.google.com/ Other browsers tested: Not Applicable What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Bring up a webpage with embedded links (e.g. http://www.google.com/) in a regular Chrome window 2. Create an application shortcut on your Desktop 3. Bring up the webpage in the application Chrome window (e.g. -- app=http://www.google.com/ ) 4. resize the windows so you can see the entire window of both Chrome normal and Chrome application (see attached screenshot image, chrome-app- vs-regular.JPG) 5. for both Chrome normal and Chrome application, hover your mouse over one of the embedded links on the webpage (e.g. "About Google" in the Google main page) 6. notice when you hover your mouse over a link in Chrome normal you see a pop-up indicator in the lower-left part of the screen with the full URL (e.g. "www.google.com/intl/en/about.html" appears in the lower left when the mouse hovers over the "About Google" embedded link on the Google main page) 7. notice when you hover your mouse over a link in Chrome application you do NOT see any indicator of the full URL What is the expected result? You should see an indicator of the full URL whenever you hover over an embedded link, in Chrome application mode or Chrome normal mode. This is very important from a security consideration point of view, to allow the user to really know which URL and associated host is being referenced. What happens instead? In Chrome application mode there is no indication of the URL associated with a link until the link is clicked and the URL is launched. This is a security risk for users running application mode. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.
