It was purposely changed: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3 General Behavior of hyperlinks To follow a hyperlink, now on the most places Ctrl+click must be used. specs Spec link: http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/hyperlinks/Behavior_of_Hyperlinks_in_OOo_Documents.odt <quote> Abstract Hyperlinks are used to point to another source of data and are commonly known on web pages. In a web browser those links are being executed on a left mouse click. They are also used inside classic documents like text documents, spreadsheets, drawings or presentations. In classical documents those active hyperlinks often prevents the user from editing the textual content of the document or link representation in the document, because the hyperlink is being executed on a left mouse click performed to place the cursor in the document content. This specification defines the handling of hyperlinks in OOo to improve editing of document content. </quote> You can review the 9 page document for details. Note that this change only affects Writer; Calc, Draw & Impress are the same as before.
