Description: When trying to select part of a hyperlink text in Writer using the mouse it immediately switches to drag-and-drop mode for the complete hyperlink. If you then release the mouse button Writer while the mouse pointer still hovers over the hyperlink it tries to drop the hyperlink into itself. Steps to Reproduce: 1: Load the sample document; 2: Drag the mouse pointer over part of the hyperlink; 3: Release the mouse button while the mouse pointer still hovers over the hyperlink. Actual Results: Writer crashes. Expected Results: No crash. No switch to drag-and-drop? Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: No crash: - on similar actions in Calc; - when the hyperlink gets dropped outside itself; - when another hyperlink gets dropped in the same place.

In 3., you indicate "Release the mouse button". At which moment do you click it (without released it)?
A clarification. Steps to Reproduce: 1: Load the sample document; 2: Click somewhere on the hyperlink and drag the mouse pointer to select a part of the hyperlink; 3: Release the mouse button while the mouse pointer still hovers over the hyperlink.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today + kf5 rendering, I don't reproduce this. Perhaps I missed something. Anyway, a backtrace could help here (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux:_How_to_get_a_backtrace)
Created attachment 157256 [details] backtrace from the crash
According to the bt, it seems QT/KDE related. For the test, could you launch a terminal and try this: export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen soffice then give it a new try?
No crash after: export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 01a3a7cee2dc680910f4ddec004724b89a81099b CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: x11; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded
Thank you Stephan for your feedback. Michael: any idea about this kde specific bug?
This seems to be the same issue as described in bug 129809. (The backtrace is also comparable.) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 129809 ***
