--- Comment #3 from Adalbert Hanßen <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #2) > That is the intended behavior after solution of bug 146576. But a similar > complain is in bug 162753. The current solution makes it considerably more difficult to set hyperlinks to locations in the same document. The current solution only has hyperlink targets to the internet in mind. The idea https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146576#c3 is still not solved, so probably the other hyperlink destinations mentioned there are also impeded. Nevertheless, it often happens that you want to set hyperlinks to a position in the same document without already having the link target in the clipboard. This is made unreasonably difficult by the current solution. If you delete the link target in the dialog, LO Writer should not come up with the idea of inserting a link target from the clipboard again, which can lead you into an endless loop! Endless loops cause endless frustration. If LO Writer only pre-fill the link position from the clipboard when invoked from some marked text without an associated hyperlink, AND if this is a syntactically correct hyperlink target that would be fine IF IT DOES NOT insert the hyperlink a second time within the hyperlink dialog ESPECIALLY NOT after deleting a pre-populated hyperlink in the first field. This would make all users happy. Also the contributors of the extended discussion at # 162753. The point is: 1. Use the clipboard content to preset a target only if it is syntactically a valid hyperlink target. Don't preset from the clipboard, if this is syntactically no hyperlink target. 2. Use it at most once after the current instance of the dialog is invoked. 3. Don't use it, if the dialog is invoked for an existing hyperlink: then come up as if this is what might be edited/altered by the user. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
