Description Harald Koester 2014-03-27 12:50:28 UTC 
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:

[1] Open new drawing.
[2] Insert table.
[3] Click into a cell of the table.
[4] Insert Hyperlink into cell.
[5] Click outside the table.
[6] Move mouse pointer above hyperlink. Expected: Mouse pointer changes the appearance to “hand” and a tooltip is displayed: “Click to follow link ...” or “Crtl-Click to follow link ...”. But mouse pointer does not change the appearance, no tip is displayed and it is not possible to open the link.
[7] Click into cell with the hyperlink.
[8] Move mouse pointer above hyperlink: The appearance changes to “hand” and a tooltip with the url of the link is displayed, but it is not possible to open the link with a click or a Ctrl-click. 

In edit mode in Impress the behaviour is equal. During a slide show a click and also a Ctrl-Click opens the link.

Bug exists already in Version 3.5.0. Probably also earlier. 
              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.1.1 release

Hello

You have to select the text of the Hyperlink, you can then either:
- with the mouse : right click > Open hyperlink
- with the keyboard : Shift+F10 to open context menu

So... WORKSFORME on windows with Version: 4.2.3.1

Hi Pierre-Yves,

you are right, it is possible to open the hyperlink. I did not know that way but I also did not expect it. So for me not very intuitive.

What I expect is a handling which is usual in most applikations and also in the LibreOffice components Writer and Calc. And the usual ways to open hyperlinks which I know are single click, double click or Ctrl-Click. So, to my opinion it is still a bug, but it is not really a severe problem.

Regards
Harald

Hello

(In reply to comment #2)
> you are right, it is possible to open the hyperlink. 

This is why I wrote WORKSFORME (referring to the title of the Issue)

Nevertheless, I share your opinion, this feature is not very intuitive.
I wanted to set the status to "New" and I forgot... sorry

It's done now...
The report title should perhaps be changed?

Regards
Pierre-Yves

Bug still exists in version 5.2.1 with Win7.
Bug already exists in version 3.3.0. Hence inherited from OOo.

Comment 9 Harald Koester 2018-09-05 08:40:45 UTC 
Checked with version 6.1.0 (64 bit Win 10).

Behaviour at step 6 of initial report is now OK. The bug of step 8 still exists. During a slide show both click and Ctrl-click still open the hyperlink.

In bug 119703 I described this bug together with other issues. If that bug is confirmed, this bug can be marked as a duplicate.

confirmed in 7.2.7.2 when inserting ods as OLE object in an odt or odp.

When the OLE object is in edit mode, I see the tool tip with the URL when hovering over the cell with the hyperlink. But when I click on it, the mouse icon changes, but no link opens. Though sometimes (maybe 10% of times opening the document's window without changing the data and cell information in the meantime) the hyperlink can be opened as intended.

If I use hyperlink buttons instead of hyperlink texts, they open somewhat more reliably, but not 100% either.

I succeded to open the link with Ctrl+Click, also when outside the table, and also in edit mode, if I move a bit the mouse in order to change the shape of the cursor.

Please retest.
