Description Eduardo Moreno 2011-12-27 07:36:44 UTC
I active the colors for the hyperlinks visited but, when I do a clic in the hyperlink and open the Web browser, the link not change the color.
I don't know if the site was visited.

confirmed on

Reproduced, I guess, even though I don't know how to "active the colors for the hyperlinks visited".

I confirm this is still the case in:

Version: 7.3.5.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 184fe81b8c8c30d8b5082578aee2fed2ea847c01
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

- - -

But, with a tip from Harald Koester in Bug #112344... if you:

1. Create a URL.
2. Ctrl+Click on URL to visit it.
3. Return to LO and scroll down so URL is off screen.
4. Scroll back up.

The visited URL will now be the "visited" color.

(Mine showed unvisited as dark blue -> visited as red.)

So:

- Step 1+2 was still dark blue.
- Step 4 = red.
Comment 9 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2022-09-17 21:32:51 UTC
To test this, go to "Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colours > Custom Colours > General", tick both custom colours for hyperlinks and change them to obviously different colours.

Bug is still reproduced in Calc:

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 3752e8eaa81a50b018669d03dc59b3753a5248ef
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

But clicking a link in Writer does respect the visited link colour as expected.
Comment 10 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-08-02 13:25:13 UTC
Calc not respecting these application colours is inherited from OOo 3.3. (Same as the already-resolved Writer issue of having to scroll the document for the colour to update.)

Dear Eduardo Moreno,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
