Sample Calc file with web hyperlink.

In Calc I have a web hyperlink with URL 'www.uba.be' ; after Export as PDF ... the hyperlink changes to something like ‘file:///C:/…’. This happens only when PDF Option 'Whole sheet export' is selected. Wehen this option is not selected, then the hyperlinks are OK in the PDF file.
Detected release: Win 11 LO Calc 7.6.2.1, but the problem was already there in version 6.4 wher 'Whole Sheet Export' was introduced.
See sample Calc file 'Whole_sheet_export.ods' and exported PDF 'Whole_sheet_export.pdf'.

The issue is when in the options to export as PDF, on the first tab Export whole sheet is enabled.

There is another bug about 'Whole sheet export' tdf#155351, maybe the same root.

Please don't put as new your own report, someone else must do it after confirm.

I looked at tdf#155351 describing formatting issues after Export to PDF, but this seems unrelated to the current very specific issue of invalid web hyperlinks. This issue was first discussed in Ask: 'https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/web-hyperlinks-not-preserved-after-export-to-pdf/96762?u=frandries' and determined there was not a matching report yet.
