v11.60 security alert: https coloring is missing in address bar

Since v11.60 there is not a single sign in address bar about https pages or not. IMHO this is an important security issue.

having only https:// does not really add much to security these days. Opera will show Secured or Verified icon instead, depending on the amount of security.

Opera have not display the URL scheme in the address bar since Opera 11, IIRC, unless you click on the address bar to edit.

This is done to avoid confusion about low-security sites. "Look for 'https' in the URL, and you will know you are on a secure page" is, at best, misleading advice. The security level indicator in the addressbar indicates Opera's evaluation of how securely the document was loaded.

Something else is broken here. I don’t get the secure sign in 11.60 for https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home and the main content doesn't load at all. The info popup in the address bar says there is no security problem.
In 12.00 alpha Build 1174 everything works. So there *is* a bugfix which didn’t made it into 11.60.
