HyperLink URL http://www.example.com ("Text:" field remains empty) OK Nothing happens. Document remains unmodified. "http://www.example.com" gets lost.

Created attachment 159710 [details] Hyperlink dialog with no "Text:" entry
Even if you insert text, this text won't be displayed in the document (same bug or another bug?) If you insert hyperlink without text with Insert => Hyperlink the hyperlink is displayed (could also be an option for hyperlink tab of the character dialog. To be hinest, I wasn't aware of this option in character dialog (and I also don't know, if it is needed here) cc: Design-Team for further input for a desired solution I change status to NEW
Insert > Hyperlink: foo.com (without text) adds foo.com to the document, with text the it's inserted with the link. Tested with 6.3 on a new and blank document. What's the difference?

Tested with 6.3 on a new and > blank document. What's the difference? Heiko, this bug is not about the hyperlink dialog, but about hyperlink tab in character dialog. I wouldn't expect such a tab there (paragraph dialog hasn't got it).
The Hyperlink tab shouldn't be there at all. The item "Character" is about applying a style to characters and a hyperlink is no style but content. In case it has been intended to allow to set the style of a hyperlink while creating a hyperlink, that can go to the hyperlink dialog.
So we either remove the tab completely (+1 for this) or make the text field working. Meaning if you apply the formatting to some selection it contains the text but is disabled. If the field is editable and empty you have to insert some text. I would block the Ok button until this condition is met. Jan, would you agree with removing the hyperlink tab?
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #6) > So we either remove the tab completely (+1 for this) +1 from my side. Hperlink dialog also provides more options (for exaple link to other documents).
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #6) > Jan, would you agree with removing the hyperlink tab? I was expecting to just hide/disable the Hyperlink tab in the Character dialog iff there is no text selected. I had to discover there exists the Insert->Hyperlink possibility. Yes, it makes some sense that the hyperlink is "inserted", I was more searching how to "Format" an existing text to add a hyperlink to it.
So let's get rid of it. UI-wise we could hide the tab but I wonder what code lingers behind.
The hyperlink tab is the only way to change the appearance of links, see bug 138292. So we have to consider the two options, somehow.
It should be possible to integrate the options from the hyperlink tap inside the hyperlink dialog. +1 to remove
