How to fix Safari 6 on Mountain Lion that doesn’t show the full URL in the address bar unless I click it?

The address bar of Safari all of a sudden has stopped displaying full URLs, and is instead only displaying the hostname part of URLs. The full URL is only shown when I make the address bar active again as shown below.

Can anyone tell me why this is and how I can restore the old behavior? I do have SafariStand installed, but it never did this before today.

I would recommend that you uninstall SafariStand and use GLIMS which is a better Safari enhancement app.

While Glims may be more powerful, it also rewrites Amazon and Ebay links in a way that I'm not comfortable with. I prefer the honest and totally free SafariStand. – Jeroen Dec 14 '12 at 10:23
