This complaint can be divided into three parts. (Caesar would be proud!)

Tested on:
  Version: 7.2.2.2 / LibreOffice Community
  Build ID: 02b2acce88a210515b4a5bb2e46cbfb63fe97d56
  CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
  Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
  Calc: threaded
using originator's attachment.

Part 1:
Complaint seems to be that if one is in cell edit mode or text box edit mode (either way with the insertion caret active) then the free-moving mouse cursor does not respond to hover over a hyperlink nor respond to a single Ctrl+click. While having a "hot" mouse cursor is common in some software (such as modern browsers), I do not see it as an expectation.

Perhaps the originator could consider submitting as a feature request?

Part 2:
Complaint seems to be that one cannot see tool tip on hover over a hyperlink within a shape, and that mouse cursor does not change to pointing finger during such hover. Testing on 7.2.2.2 would seem to indicate otherwise. Originator's hyperlink within "Shape Rectangle A" shape response exactly as does a hyperlink in a cell; in fact, the pointing finger seems more likely to appear than when link is in a cell (see Part 3).

Part 3:
Sometimes when hovering over a hyperlink (with or without Ctrl pressed) the mouse cursor turns into the pointing finger, sometimes it remains the basic arrow. This seems dependent on some manner of state--it does not just alternate randomly. This is not expected behavior, and might be considered a bug. Either way, however, the tool tip appears and the link works as expected.

Still repro missing hand appearance with kf5 and gtk3.

Dear Buovjaga,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
