Description: Writer documents have hyperlinks between endnote anchors in the text and the endnotes themselves. In version 7.0.3.1 the cursor changes to a hand when hovering over endnote anchors in text or the number endnote. In 7.1.3.2 (x64) the cursor doesn't change when hovering over the endnote anchor in the text or the link back to the text from the number of the endnote, it remains the I bar. The hyperlink to the Endnote and back to the text still works but is less easy to use because of this. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create endnote 2. Hover cursor over endnote anchor in text or endnote number in endnotes 3. Observe cursor shape; it should change to a hand when over the link Actual Results: Cursor does not change shape when hovering over endnote links Expected Results: Cursor should change to a hand when over and endnote link Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Another user has the same experience, see https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/308243/writer-endnote-link-pointer-disappeared/
David, thanks for providing this bug report. Based on the description that the links themselves still work and only the cursor does not change, I am changing severity to Minor.
I confirm the behaviour with Version: 7.1.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL same for footnotes. I would also expect a change of the cursor. But it's still possible to jump to footnotes and endnotes. So I'm not sure for 100%, if this is a bug or the expected (and new) behaviour. cc: Design-Team for a doublecheck
If this is an intended change I would request reversion to the previous behaviour. As Dieter notes the hyperlinks between the footnotes and endnotes and anchors in the text still work, but they are less easy to use because of this behaviour - without the cursor changing shape the user is not sure when to click.
Version: 7.0.6.2 -> hand cursor Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ -> hand cursor CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.12; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US UX-wise this is clearly a regression. If there is a link we should give proper feedback with the hand cursor.
CONFIRMED on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and LibreOffice 7.1.1.2 Version: 7.1.1.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fe0b08f4af1bacafe4c7ecc87ce55bb426164676 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IN (en_IN); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
