Summary: EDITING: Annoying seemingly-mandatory unwanted
conversion of text that looks like an address to an
active hyperlink.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]

Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.5.4 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
Annoying seemingly-mandatory unwanted conversion of text that looks like an
address to an active hyperlink.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start a new document.
2. Type in an email address or web URL.
3. Press Space or Enter.
4. Notice it annoyingly assumes you want that to be a HYPERLINK.
5. Notice that if you hit Enter and then Backspace, it may delete your entire
line, not just the hyperlink metadata.
6. Go looking in Options for how to get it to stop doing this. Waste lots of
time. Find no way to do it if you are me.
Current behavior:
1. It automatically makes all addresses into hyperlinks.
2. Backspace doesn't always work well to clear only the hyperlink.
3. I can't find any option that lets me turn this auto-link-creator off.
Expected behavior:
1. Making active links in documents should be optional, not the default.
2. The place to set this option should exist and be easily findable.
3. Backspace should always not delete the whole text typed, just remove the
link status.
