Same happens with '#'
bug 45777 seems similar. I'll take a look
Detecting a URL in free-form text uses some heuristics to determine what part of the text constitutes a URL and, especially, where exactly the found URL ends and what characters (that might even legally be part of the URL) following it are instead "punctuation" in the free-form text. The heuristics currently employed by LO (as implemented in URIHelper::FindFirstURLInText, svl/source/misc/urihelper.cxx) consider a trailing '=' at the end of the fragment, query, or path part (if it does not detect any further parts following that part) as delimiting "punctuation" rather than as part of the URL. Interestingly, LO appears to not be only with using such a heuristic. Witness whatever software is responsible for it having converted the free-form text in comment 0 into > 2. paste '<a href="https://fontlibrary.org/en/search?lang=arabic&order">https://fontlibrary.org/en/search?lang=arabic&order</a>=' (without quotes) i.e., having decided that the trailing '=' should not be treated as part of the URL, either. Is anybody aware of a pressing need to change the heuristic to treat a trailing '=' in an otherwise non-empty query part not followed by a fragment part (as exemplified in the original request in comment 0) as being part of the URL? (And also treat such a '=' as part of the URL in even more places? Also at the end of an otherwise empty query part? Also at the end of an empty/non-empty path or fragment part?) Otherwise, I would suggest to not touch the current heuristics. Such heuristics are always somewhat brittle, and changing them has always potential for (real or perceived) regressions (e.g., somebody else might be upset by finding a trailing '=' now be considered part of the URL, after decades of different behavior). And regarding "Same happens with '#'" (comment 2): A '#' starting a fragment part that would be empty is indeed not considered by the heuristics as being part of the URL. I consider that a feature rather than a bug.
To me this is a bug as equal is a valid character of the query part of the url, so i tested the issue on other word processors Work like LO * Word 2013 * Softmaker TextMaker Work different to LO * WPS Writer * Google Docs * WordPerfect
> Work like LO > * Word 2013 > * Softmaker TextMaker Same in Word 2010. However, Word 2010 includes the # in 1. http://crashreport.libreoffice.org/stats/# 2. http://crashreport.libreoffice.org#
I abandoned my patch in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/44241/
