I realize I can update to the latest version on both Macs, the version I use works as intended, I have no complaints about 2.82.
The suggestion to update does not address the question of why does the exact same version/build show up two different ways.
Please let me know if you have an answer to why the "missing Ratio 0.00 and down/up arrows 0.0 KB/s below main toolbar on Mac OS 10.8 on right" are not shown when exact same version 2.82 is installed on Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.8
If there is a reason for not having a setting available to produce that information when installed on Mac OS 10.8 please let me know what it is.
If you know for a fact that updating to newer version will produce the missing feature please let me know.
As mike.dld pointed out to me, there is a "button" I missed when I thought I had tried all options.
When I followed his instructions the Status bar on Mac running 10.8 'magically' appeared.
