------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 25 19:09:24 +0000 2007 ------- OK, now I see where you're coming from. From a theoretical POV you are right. I have some practically motivated objections though. I see this issue about inserting a hyperlink with the hyperlink toolbar and all other cases where the user (or the autocorrection) *explicitly* inserts a hyperlink and not just only applies a formatting. If the user created a hyperlink by using "Format Character" I indeed see this as something that is covered by Issue 72302. It is completely surprising that inserting a hyperlink changes the formatting of the text that is entered behind the link. The user will never want to continue adding text to the hyperlink. Agreed? This is different to the case where the user changed the formatting for a given selection. Here we can't predict how the user wants to continue and I don't believe that switching the formatting off *always* is the better choice. So if you see these cases to be identical I understand that you opt for never continuing a formatting that was applied to a selection. I don't say that this is wrong but I predict that this change isn't so uncontroversary as it is in case of hyperlinks. What you also might not know: fixing this problem is not easy - except if we use the trick with always inserting a blank after the selection/hyperlink that I already explained. I think nobody will complain against that in case of the hyperlink insertion but I'm not sure if all users would accept it if selecting text and applying a formatting to it automatically added a blank behind it. So IMHO a fix for the general case would take much more time - even if we already had agreed that this is what we want. The simple fix for the "Insert hyperlink" can be done fast and so serves our users better, IMHO. So my choice is to plan for fixing this issue in 2.3. If we agreed that formattings applied to selections should never continue and if we found a way to do that in 2.3 I would be fine with declaring the issues duplicate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
