Instead of displaying a URL tooltip on mouseOver, the personal toolbar bookmarks
should display their URL in the status bar where all other URLs are displayed.
This move would be consistent with the existing paradigm of personal toolbar
bookmarks behaving as hyperlinks rather than buttons.

A valid point, but they aren't presented as links, so the user might not know
what they are, nor do they have other link affordances (d&d, save as, open in
new, etc). I think very few people care what URL is underneath, once they have
created a bookmark for it. In any case, no time to consider this for N6, ->future.

Hmm...interesting proposal. Actually, we do sort of present them as links --
they're blue, underlined, and turn red on mousedown. reassigning to me...

None of that applies to the personal toolbar items I see, is that specific to a
particular platform/skin? Also, my toolbar items have icons, but don't get a
context menu, and don't change color after visiting.

Yeah, this is specific to the Mac Classic Skin. And no, they do not change
colors after visiting, only on a mouseDown. Under the surface they are really
buttons, but we have given them an appearance of hyperlinks.

hmm. This is actually win32 4xp. 4.x on win32 displays the URL in the
statusbar and the title of the page in a tooltip (which is pretty useless most
of the time).
need a UI/UE decision here, keeping in mind that PT buttons only really resemble
hyperlinks in the classic skin.

Ah, but they *should* have these affordances (4xp on Mac is to allow dragging of
PT bookmarks) ... IMO, bookmarks should have the same behavior as normal links --
dragging them should do the same as for links, right-clicking on them should give
the same context menu as is shown for a link in a Web page ... and hovering over
them should show their URL in the status bar.
Note that often links in Web pages don't look like links either (they look like
buttons or whatever), but we still show their URLs in the location field.
Appearance should not be considered to be a barrier here.

pardon the spam: personal toolbar bugs should go into the Bookmarks component.
so, i'm moving the existing ones from xp apps/xp apps: gui to there...

Since PT bookmarks don't display more than 13 chars of their name if it's too
long, I think the tooltip should contain the bookmark's name instead of URL.
As Trudelle mentions; if the users has a bookmark in the toolbar they don't care
about the URL - if they want to go there they just click it.
Maybe we should send this bug to UI: Design Feedback component for further
discussion?

WONTFIX.
Please file a bug saying that they should display title or (my favorite)
title\nURL combo. (like IE)
