Hi there! I'm finding that when I visit a site, the URL doesn't always show up in the URL bar. It makes it difficult to copy and paste a URL when I need to. It also makes the tab show up as "untitled", making it difficult to identify the tabs. It's very odd and fairly recent. Possibly since I upgraded to Ventura. thanks for any advice.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.1
Thank you but that's not the problem. And I already have that checked.
The problem is that no URL shows up at all. When I click in the smart search bar to copy the address, it's not there at all. It happened with this page, when I clicked from the email notification. But if I copy the link from email and paste it, it's fine.

Hello traypup,
Thanks for the info. Does the issue occur when you type the web address in the Search field yourself or only when clicking web addresses in emails?
Also, does the issue occur in safe mode? If you are not familiar with the safe mode steps, you can follow the steps here: How to use safe mode on your Mac to get it done. Once in safe mode, you'd want to use the Mac as you normally would to see if the issue occurs again. You can tell when the Mac is in safe mode because on the desktop it will show the words Safe Boot in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The steps are also listed below.

Hey there traypup,
Since the problem seems to be mostly resolved while in safe mode, you'll want to follow the guide linked below to check for Safari extensions and other settings that may be interfering with normal functionally.
If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected
Have a good one!
Oddly enough, it did and it didn't happen in safe mode. I clicked on lots of links and most of the URLs displayed. I clicked on the link in the email notification for this thread about 5 times and twice it came up with no URL displayed.
Hi traypup,
The support article Change Advanced settings in Safari on Mac offers the following setting which may help resolve this concern for you:
"In the Safari app on your Mac, use Advanced settings to increase accessibility, specify a style sheet, change the default encoding, and turn on the Develop menu.
To change these settings, choose Safari > Settings, then click Advanced.
Show full website address
Have the Smart Search field show the full address of the website you’re viewing instead of just the domain name. For example, www.apple.com/safari/ instead of apple.com."
Regards.
