Safari is not showing full URL - Suggestions?

Safari isn't showing the full URL of the site I'm visiting, just the domain. For example, currently safar is only displaing


User uploaded file


But when I click in the address bar, I get the full address


User uploaded file


This only happens when in window mode, and not in fullscreen:

Any suggestions as to what is causing this to happen, or how I can fix it?

I have the same problem... i don't know what i made or what happened but i dont find this "feature" or "bug" a good one...

Here i make two screenshots explaining the problem.


1. http://cl.ly/image/1B3Q3z3H2643 -> Its shows only the main domain and not the full URL

2. http://cl.ly/image/40213q1z3i40 -> When i select or click in the bar it shows the Full URL..


I only want to make sure that the full URL is always shown...

Any idea what happen? Is this a feature of Mountain Lion and Safari 6.0 that i notice too late or have i change an option?


OS: Mountain Lion

Safari 6.0

MacBook Pro


Any Help?


Thanks in advance.

Once again, "design" (meaning good looks) has been allowed to override usability. The URL is centered in its field. If I wish to modify the URL, for instance change something after the top domain, I can't do it in one click. I first have to click once to make the URL left-aligned, then I can modify it. Why, Apple, why?
