@sea.gmane.org:
This only seems to happen with the Internet Link character style; other
character styles work the way I expect.
Is this a bug?
No -- it's an autoformat! (ducks).
I used to work at Radio Shack part-time when I was in the Navy. When
someone would bring in something that was acting screwy, he liked to say
"that's not flaw, that's a feature!" :)
More seriously, I think it probably is
the case the autocorrections are updated slowly, or differently to other
changes, and in this case, the autocorrect is clearly to apply the
character style to anything that matches a URL.
Well, the auto-correction itself happens instantaneously. I don't know
if this is an inconsistency in Writer's behavior or not. When it does
other autoformatting, like superscripting the "st" in 1st, it appears to
just apply direct formatting; at least there's no "Superscript"
character style that you can modify (not that you would want to, I suppose.)
Hmmm.... playing with this more, there does seem to be some
inconsistency. There's a class of styles, both paragraph and character,
that you could call "automatic"; headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes,
table contents, etc. If you have the Stylist open to show paragraph
styles and you move the cursor into one of those special areas, the
relevant paragraph style is highlighted. The same thing doesn't happen
with character styles.
It seems to me that the behavior should be consistent between paragraph
and character styles. I couldn't find an existing issue that addresses
this so I have opened http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63624.
Like the politicians say, "Vote For Me". :)
