Public bug reported:
This may be the single weirdest bug report I've ever made.
Steps to Reproduce:
1: Open LibreOffice Calc.
2: In any cell of the spreadsheet, type:
<a...@example.com>
The email address placed inside the angle brackets can be whatever you want,
but the angle brackets are necessary for the bug to surface (at least usually).
3: Press Enter. The email address will automatically be turned into a hyperlink.
4: Right-click the automatically created hyperlink, and click "Remove
Hyperlink".
Expected result:
The actual text of the cell should remain unchanged, but the hyperlink itself
should be removed.
Actual result:
The text within the cell morphs into the following:
<abc@example.com...@example.com
The second copy of the text is not hyperlinked, but the first copy of
the text remains hyperlinked. And yes, the second angle bracket
disappears.
Right-clicking the leftover hyperlink and clicking "Remove Hyperlink"
again results in the text morphing into the following:
<abc@example.comabc@example.co...@example.com
Notice the "m" of ".com" is missing in the second copy. The first copy
remains hyperlinked. Clicking on some other cell on the sheet
immediately after this second "Remove Hyperlink" will result in the
"abc@example.coabc" part of the text becoming its own hyperlink, while
clicking on the cell containing the corrupted text first and then
clicking elsewhere will result in only the first copy of the text being
a hyperlink.
Notes:
The bug can be worked around by double-clicking on the hyperlinked text,
*then* right-clicking the link and clicking "Remove Hyperlink".
I think I was able to get the bug to occur without the angle brackets
once, but I wasn't able to make it happen again.
I do not yet know if this bug occurs on anything except Ubuntu 22.04 (I
just discovered it while using LibreOffice for a project). I will do
more thorough testing if necessary and add any new findings as comments.
