Description Harald Koester 2014-03-26 16:07:53 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
[1] Open new Draw document.
[2] Check option “LibreOffice > Security > Options... > Ctrl-click required to follow hyperlinks“
[3] Create hyperlink: Menu > Insert > Hyperlink.
[4] Click on hyperlink. Link is opened in Browser. Expected: Link should only be opened with Ctrl+click on hyperlink.
[5] Uncheck option of step [2]. 
[6] Ctrl+Click on hyperlink. Link is opened in Browser. Expected: Link should only be opened with click on hyperlink.

The behavior is equal if you insert a hyperlink in a graphic element like e.g. a rectangle.

The behavior in Impress is identical. Also during a presentation the option has no influence.

To my opinion hyperlinks should work in the same way in all LibreOffice components (see also bug 51296).

Bug already exists in my oldest installed LibreOffice Version 3.5.0. Hence probably inherited from OpenOffice.

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.1.1 release
Comment 1 Harald Koester 2014-03-26 16:58:31 UTC
Just found that this bug has been described already in bug 40679. 

Proposal: Close bug 40679, hence that bug also describes the same problem with Calc. The problem with Calc has been solved meanwhile (see bug 51296).

Additional Comment: Also tooltips of hyperlinks in Draw and Impress should behave equal to hyperlinks in Writer and Calc.

Bug still exists in version 5.3.3.
Bug already exists in version 3.3.0. Hence inherited from OOo.
Comment 8 Tymoteusz Motylewski 2017-09-20 22:21:14 UTC
The bug still exists in Impress 5.4.
Would be great to see it fixed, as it's really pain right now to work with presentations with many hyperlinks in the text.

Comment 11 Harald Koester 2018-08-29 13:43:44 UTC
Checked again with version 6.1.0 (64 bit, Win 10). LibreOffice works as expected now. Thanks for fixing.

Only the behaviour during a slide show is questionable. With a simple Click on a hyperlink the respective page is opened in the browser (Firefox) and the browser is in foreground. With a Ctrl + Click on a hyperlink the respective page is also opened, but the slide show is still in foreground. The option "Ctrl-click required to follow hyperlinks" does not influence this behaviour. May be this is intended. But to my opinion also in a slide show only "Click" or only "Ctrl + Click" should work dependent of the option's setting.
