Hm this is rather a UX question. Personally I find the current behavior expected. When you edit a textbox, clicking outside that textbox ends editing. I wouldn't expect any other actions to be executed when clicking outside of a textbox I'm currently editing.

Is this the only question here? I mean there is none asked. I cannot open the link in Shape rectangle A with 6.1.6, context menu has the hyperlink entry but nothing happens. A4 works of course.

Would you say the same is true for the case when you are editing a cell, target link being in another cell or shape/box? You closed bug 121038, which was about a change in behaviour. Personally I don't have strong opinions on this.

Personally I would probably make sure any link *inside* the currently edited cell/graphic is clickable and clicking anything outside of the current cell/graphic will just end the edit mode. Excel does this differently, it will not only end edit mode, but also open the hyperlink even while you are editing.

So with above patch the behavior is now that if you edit a textbox/shape you can still open a link in the currently edited textbox. This should be the same in Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress. I would mark this bug as resolved then. Please open separate bugs for additional problems.
