Description: I Just installed LibreOffice Writer on 12 November 2025, and copied into a Writer blank an article from my Tahoe 26.1 Mac but in the Writers version when I click onto a link it doesn't work. Actual Results: The link looks like it should but clicking onto it provides no access to the linked-to Webppage. Expected Results: Not that. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: none
When I click onto a link, it doesn't lead to any Webpage.
Do you know there has to be a combination of key and mouse click for executing a link? On Linux it is CTRL + Left Mousebutton.
Thanks for flagging—broken links can really disrupt the experience. Hope they get fixed soon for smoother access. https://www.ez-passct.com
Thanks for the report. This is the default behavior of LibreOffice, designed to make it easier to edit the text of a hyperlink without accidentally opening the browser. While hovering your mouse over the link, you'll notice the tooltip that says "Ctrl-click to open hyperlink." (Command-click for macOS) If you would prefer to open links with a single click, you can change this setting: 1. Click LibreOffice in the menu bar next to the Apple logo and select Settings/Preferences. 2. In the left pane, select LibreOffice > Security 3. Click on the Options button on the right 4. Uncheck the box that says "Ctrl-click required to follow hyperlinks."
I went through these steps but they failed to change anything: 1. Click LibreOffice in the menu bar next to the Apple logo and select Settings/Preferences. 2. In the left pane, select LibreOffice > Security 3. Click on the Options button on the right 4. Uncheck the box that says "Ctrl-click required to follow hyperlinks." Now, as before, when I click onto a linked term or phrase, I receive a pop-up “Click to open hyperlink” but no matter if I left-click or right-click, nothing happens.
I went back to verify that the button "Ctrl-click required to follow hyperlinks." is no longer checkmarked but found instead that it IS still checkmarked.
Set this one back to UNCONFIRMED. Following comment 6 have set the title to buggy behavior. Might be this is a special bug of Mac, so we need somebody with Mac to reproduce.
But isn't it CONFIRMED for Mac?
(In reply to Eric Zuesse from comment #8) > But isn't it CONFIRMED for Mac? No, only you have written the bug description. There will be needed a second person with Mac, who could confirm. I can't confirm, because it is working here (under Linux) as expected. comment 4 is only a description how it should work…
