It's not a bug. It is behaving as designed. The active area (hot spot) for a hyperlink extends from the hypertext marker until either a change in formatting or a paragraph break is encountered. It works that way when you manually insert a hyperlink, and it works that way when FrameMaker inserts a hyperlink for you.

Seems like I've found an odd bug with hyperlinks from generated files when I "print" an unstructured FM book from FM 7.1 to PDF. I have found that when I print a FM book to PDF, the page numbers in the TOC and index are automatically converted to hyperlinks in the PDF. The text of the entry is also converted to a hyperlink. Thus, when I move my cursor over the entry or page number in the PDF file, it turns from a hand to a pointer. However, if the entry's text is not in the default paragraph format for the entry, this automatic conversion doesn't happen. For example, if I go to the TOC reference page and change (for example) the line for the chapter entries so that the page number has a "bold" character format, the entry is converted to a hyperlink but not the page number itself. So if I have the line <$paranum><$paratext><$pagenum> (this line has the paragraph tag ChapterTitleTOC) and I select "<$pagenum>" and apply a character tag (say "Bold"), then the chapter entries in the TOC look fine, but the page numbers are converted to hyperlinks in the PDF. The *chapter* number and text are hyperlinks but not the *page* number. This also happens if I surround <$pagenum> with a <Bold> tag, for example <$paranum><$paratext><Bold><$pagenum><Default Para Font> This also happens in index entries. Anyone seen this before?
