Description: I am using Bookmarks to identify sections/images within a document. Elsewhere in the same document are (many) hyperlinks referring to these bookmarks. The bookmark name is used by LO as the pop-up hover-help over the hyperlink. As such, the bookmark name needs to be helpful to the user. When the occasion arises that the bookmark must be renamed, at present all of the existing hyperlinks to the old bookmark name are left as orphans. The suggestion is that the bookmark rename process avoids creation of orphans, at least within the 'host' document - i.e. the one that contains the bookmark. Actual Results: Haven't found a slick method for locating broken links, so all orphans have to be manually located. Expected Results: When a bookmark is renamed, all references to that bookmark - at least within the same document - should be altered to maintain the logical linkage. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Same behaviour in Writer 6.0.4 (x64)
Agreed! I to have a document that has multiple links throughout that point to ONE bookmark. On occasion I have to "Rename" the bookmark . . . and EVERY hyperlink that points at it is broken. It is a significant pain to find and fix them all. Correcting this problem would be VERY helpful in situations like this. Same issue in Linux & Windows OS's, and LO versions 6.1.4 and v6.2.0 (and every one of the versions I've used before these) Thanks again for your consideration.
Thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. (Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it. See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#How_can_I_eliminate_confidential_data_from_a_sample_document.3F for help on how to do so.) I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided.
Created attachment 151130 [details] sample document exhibiting problem scenario As requested, please find attached a document with lots of internal hyperlinks to bookmarks. Any name change of bookmark essentially leaves referring hyperlinks as orphans.
I confirm that behaviour with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 421e6fc3cd2e6fe37afbef341e2d0ad7b8edde37 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-04-07_01:12:58 Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded I don't know, if this is possible => needsDevAdvice Additional observation: Same problem if you rename an image, that is target of a hyperlink => I changed bug summary (I hope you agree). BTW: Why don't you use headings as target of an hyperlink?
the request makes sense... Moving to NEW...
