[Opera 11.60] Mouse Over URL

After Opera upgraded to 11.60, when I hover over a link, the URL for the link doesn't pop up. Is there any way I can configure Opera to get that back? It was the surest way of avoiding bad links sent in eMails and posted on message boards because I could see where I was being redirected to.

Thank you!

Ctrl+F12 Advanced|Browsing|Show tooltips.
Note: The status bar has to be off if you want the tooltips to appear.

Has that always been the case 'Lux' ?
I don't recall ever having to turn off the status bar to see the url when hovering over link in earlier versions.

Think it changed when Opera 10 arrived, maybe even late in the Opera 9.xx builds.
Can't remember for sure.
