Description JohnRF 2021-01-07 18:21:31 UTC
I am a new LE-Writer user.  I had imported a word.docx file.   This file among other things included a list of hyperlinks for my automation hub.  I saved this file with the odt extension.

The one link I needed required editing before ctrl-click(ing).

The pre-edited link was:
http://192.168.1.170/hub/advanced/freeOSMemory

the changed link is: 
http://192.168.1.104/hub/advanced/freeOSMemory

When I ctrl-click on the edited version the old link is sent to chrome.

I then saved the file, retried link = still wrong link set.

I saved the file, closed Writer reopened = same result (i.e. wrong link sent)

//-------------------------------------//
On another line, I manually typed the edited link = worked fine.

//-------------------------------------//
I created an new Writer document, copied ALL if the problem document into the new document.
the now already edited link =  worked fine.

//-------------------------------------//

I saved the document under a new name.  In the new document, the link worked correctly.

In the original document,  I deleted all content except for the subject link.  not the link did not work at all.  Ctrl-Click did nothing, Ctrl-double click selected a word.

Could think of no additional test that might help.

John, thank you for reporting the bug. I'm not sure, if I understand your steps correct. 

1. Open MS Word (I use Word 2016) and insert a hyperlink
2. Save
3. Open document in LO and save as .odt-file.
4. Edit hyperlink
5. Strg + click

Result: Target of hyperlink is the old hyperlink instead the edited one.

Are the steps correct? If not, can you provide a correct set of steps? Thank you
