Description a2temp 2018-11-13 14:06:07 UTC
The soffice.bin goes into loop when I input '=' and point to a cell containing this (flat xml, manually extracted):

<table:table-cell table:style-name="ce6" office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string">
	<text:p>VisibleText</text:p>
	<text:p><text:a xlink:href="http://HiddenLink" xlink:type="simple"> </text:a></text:p>

The same happens if I work offline so Internet delays are not the cause.
The same happens if I put the formula there with ^D

The twin <text:p> entry comes from HTML-filter.
F2 (edit...) Enter only affects the VisibleText.
Copy-paste-text_only does NOT remove the invisible entry.
How to delete the xlink?

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
