Description gorn 2003-07-02 19:11:30 UTC

Visited hyperlinks change their colour in a way I do not understand. Either it 
is not documented anywhere or it is a bug. Particularry: where can I set up the 
colour to which the visited ling changes.

Way to reconstruct:
Make a fresh file. Type some bla bla bla. Make a bookmark. Insert the reference 
to this bookmark somewhere (i use drag and drop from navigator tool). Double 
click to the reference (it will jump to the bookmark of course). Double click 
again ...

At some point the colour of the reference changes from blue to brown.

In "Tools / Options - {Star|Open}Office - Appearance" there are two
entries "Visited links" and "Unvisited links" for the color to be used.

Can you please verify that the explanation given previously satisfies you, and if so please 
indicate it. 
Also if you have genreal questions such as this in the future please send an email to 
users@openoffice.org you should find that there are many people there that can answer 
your quesiton within a very short time.

Sure, I should have asked user forum first, but my question still 
holds. 

If you use the options and check the "Visited link" checkbox 
everything is fine, but if you leave it unchecked, it behaves 
strangely. It is as if th brown colour was set to "Visited links", 
which i consider bad behaviour - if you have UNCHECKED "Visited 
colours" OO should not indicate "Visited" status of the ink in any 
way. 

Moreover it is combined with another minibug. If you click on the hyperling its colour does not change 
immediately but you have to fiddle around little bit to make it change - it suffices to recsize the 
window for example.

To be constructive I will send this question to the users forum and post here the answer.

There are also character templates named "Internet Link" and "Visited
Internet Link" which take effect if the colors in the Tools menue are
not set and checked.
Those templates also define colors to be used along with the underlining.

Also the URL recognition can be turned on/off in "Tools -
AutoCorrect/AutoFormat... - Options".

There seem to be comments from OOo members, therefore it should be 
safe to add the "oooqa" keyword. I will set the priority to P4 because 
it doesn't prevent people from using OOo. I have not changed any other 
fields.

Standard disclaimer: I'm new @ this, & the fields can be put back to 
where they were. :^)
