Description: I use --convert-to pdf to convert an odt file to pdf. My file includes text describing a URL, which I link to the actual URL. The text crosses a line boundary; Writer inserts a hyphen at that point. The URL looks good in Writer. However, the link in the generated PDF contains an extraneous %A2%CD at the point of the hyphen into the generated URL. It also has the same extraneous data at the end of the URL. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a file in Writer with text containing a very long URL. 2. Link that URL to its target. 3. Use --convert-to pdf to generate a PDF file from the text. 4. Inspect the PDF at the point of the URL to see what it points to. Actual Results: At the place where Writer inserts a hyphen in the text, there are extraneous characters in the underlying URL: %A2%CD. These characters are also at the end of the underlying URL. Expected Results: The URL should be exactly the one linked.

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/ or with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html? You can install master alongside the standard version. 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. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
Fixed by LibreOffice 7.0.4.2
