Description Oliver Keyes 2013-07-03 08:41:09 UTC 
Not sure the technical term, but: if I hover over, for example, the bugzilla "search bugs" link, it shows as a URL in the bottom left of firefox, allowing me to identify the destination. The same is true in articles in read mode. It'd be good to have this functionality in the VisualEditor, or some other way of more prominently identifying where links are going to: hovering over every. single. one. doesn't really work.
Comment 1 Rummana Yasmeen 2013-11-12 01:37:32 UTC 
Links are now displaying page URL.Checked in FireFox 20 and Chrome Version 26.0.1410.65 using MAC OS X 10.8.5.
Therefore changing the status to resolved-worksforme for now.
If you experience this problem again,please reopen the bug.

They are not in Firefox 25.0 on Fedora 19 in VE edit mode for me on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Foundation&veaction=edit

Removing See Also and unassigning; I thought this was about link suggestions in the dropdown in the link inspector, but it doesn't appear to be.
Comment 4 Roan Kattouw 2014-11-05 22:26:37 UTC 
As for the issue of browsers not displaying the link target in the status bar when you hover them: that's a browser problem. Neither Firefox nor Chrome appears to do this for links in a contentEditable.

However, since the filing of this bug we do have a better way than tooltips links to show their targets: when you put your cursor in a link, the context menu now shows the target of the link rather than just a link icon.

So, WONTFIX?
