In Comm 4.5 when cycling throught he bookarks, the url's of each bookmark do not
get displayed as they are mouseovered. It seems it should display the url of the
site of the highlighted bookmark so you know where you are going. I think this
should be added to 5.0.

ok, but only if it's somehow clear that the url in the url bar isn't the url of 
the page being displayed.
if you just want the highlited (selected) bookmark url to show then this is fixed(mark it so). If you want the url ot show on 
mouseover... you'll have to wait much longer methinks
Move to "Future" milestone.

The original description of this bug is inaccurate. When you hover over 
bookmarks on the personal toolbar, Communicator 4.x DOES show the URLs on the 
status bar. In addition, although the bookmarks button on the location bar does 
not show the URL on the status bar, when you go through the bookmarks from the 
Communicator menu - Bookmarks it DOES show the URL. This status bar clearly 
changes as you cycle through the bookmarks and reverts to the last status 
message for the page when you leave the bookmarks, so it isn't likely to be 
confused with the current page.

This is a platform parity issue. Both Netscape 4.x and IE 5.x show the URLs for 
bookmarks on the status bar which greatly helps in choosing between similar 
bookmarks. IE 5 also shows a tooltip with the URL.
adding 4xp keyword since this was 4.x feature.

this is a dupe of bug 23460 and not RFE (4xp).
Since Don has left, Vishy is taking his bugs in bulk, pending reassignment.
