Created attachment 189079 [details] Illustration of regression. An issue was recently raised on the "users" mailing list where a user wanted to set his own cell style for hyperlinks so that links are not underlined. The user opens the Hyperlink style dialog, where he can set the font size and color, but selecting "Underlining > Without" does not change that aspect of the hyperlink style. It appears to work in version 7.4.7,2 provided the file is not opened in version, or another application.
Last line of report should read: It appears to work in version 7.4.7,2 provided the file is not opened in version 7.6.03, or another application.
Bibisected with linux-64-7.6 to 89e65e6afdfc942cf8232886d6703947167eaec3 tdf#153880 sc: Make Calc text hyperlinks stand out more Not calling it a regression, but let's add the people involved to Cc.
You can change the font color via Tools > Options > General > Application Color. But the underlining will remain probably in the default, at least it happens in a quick test, and you change the color globally. Another question I see is the cell style Text > Hyperlink, which is not applied nor meaningful anymore. And the actual question is whether we should allow changing the font / font effects of links per cell, per document, or globally. The alternative is to accept the situation that links are defined by the OS/DE. @Daveo, it's also a question for you.

Issue is we produce documents and we should allow to cater for user preference, but hyperlinks are a special case as they have e.g. visited colours (which by the way does not happen anyway in Calc, see bug 44189) and need consistency across the file... I do agree that we need to have a more uniform handling of hyperlink formatting across components. Currently the fact that users consider a variety of factors that include OS/DE + Application colours + character or cell style + direct formatting is not good UX. For the problem described here, the actual issue predates 7.6 and is that we can't change the auto-formatted hyperlink style or direct formatting like we can in Writer (in which a Hyperlink character style is used). It's the same for the font colour (which can be worked around by using Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colours), and was the same for the grey highlight before it was removed. The cell style is unrelated: it can give a hyperlink look to a cell if needed. See how it can be useful in bug 134456 comment 6. (That bug was originally the same issue, but was redirected to improving documentation.) Maybe this is linked to character style support requested in bug 108220? And compatibility with how other suites handle it has to be considered, see bug 113337.
