Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21533
The URL or web-address automatic recognition fails
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:42 UTC
URL or web-addresses should follow industry standards and should be uniform throught suite. The software should automatically underline a typed e-mail address and change its color to blue. In the Presentation Package, a URL or Web-address typed, is only colored BLUE and not underlined, as is done in the Text Document Package of Open Office, and throughtout other industry packages. Steps: 1. Open the Presentation package 2. In the Body of the Slide, enter: www.hotmail.com The only thing that occurs when you view the slide is that the mailto link is colored blue; however, if all the text on the slide is colored blue, there is no difference to recognize it as a mail link.
Reproducible.

Reproduced on WinXP SP2 OOo 1.1.4 as well as OO 1.0.2 on RedHat 9.0. Both e- mail hyperlinks in format username@domain.com as well as URLs did not get underlined in the Presentation package, making them indistinguishable from other blue text in the document. The problem is not present in OpenOffice Writer.
The issue have been replicated also on Windows XP SP2 PC OpenOffice 2.0.1.
In a follow up test of the same behavior applied on Linux PC OpenOffice version 1.1.0 prove conclusive that the cosmetic discrepancy to carry under multiple conditions.
