Steam URL address bar appears at all times, even if it's not toggled from the Steam client options.

Is this a glitch or a new "feature"? The URL green bar appeared all of a sudden, a couple of days ago and I can't get rid of it from the Steam client's interface. It's always there, under the STORE LIBRARY COMMUNITY and my profile name. I'd like to know if this is intended or if it's an issue that will get solved soon. Thank you!

It's a bug.

This is a bug, we recently switched the client to using secure HTTP for more of the live web-based content, and this had the effect of always displaying the security indicator (and URL bar) even if it is disabled in the UI. We'll take a look at it fixing it in a future beta update.

You're on the beta client ?

Because i'm not in it and I have that.

you have what?
the url bar is still enforced to be displayed when the site is in https, regardless of your steam settings ... in stable and in beta. they didn't do anything about it yet.

Nevermind, at first I thought that this was only affecting the beta client since the answer was in the Beta group. But since then I got confirmation it's for everyone.
