Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 50213
Hyperlink Truncated
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:20 UTC
This applies to Impress and Writer (and probably others). Documents created with either MS PowerPoint or OO 1.1.4 that have hyperlinks greater in length than about 130 characters are truncated when read by OO 2.0 Beta. OO 1.1.4 reads without a problem a hyperlink created with MS PowerPoint with a length greater than 130 characters. Repeatable: Always Create a hyperlink in MS PP with a length greater than about 130 char, Save Open file with OO 1.1.4 Click on link - open successfully Open file with OO 2.0 beta Click on link - note that URL is truncated
Can you attach a document where this is visible? I have produced here a link with more than 130 characters and it opens ok in 2.0. Thanks.
Thanks for the doc. Ok, this works under windows but under Linux not. The link is correctly imported into OOo. When I select it in edit mode (black background) and use edit/hyperlink there is the full link visible. Even the tooltip shows it. Maybe it is not handed over correctly to the browser.
Please have a look.
Yes, the handoff to the browser seems to be the problem. If I switch browsers to use Konqueror (instead of Firefox), the problem repeats. OO 1.1.4 is OK, 2.0 Beta is not.
hi millerrobe, does the problem persist with the latest snapshot build? http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html
millerrobe: please ignore my last comment
millerrobe, i'd also like to reproduce. which window manager do you use? thanks, Max
Fedora Core 4 (pre) KDE 3.4 Problem still there is latest snapshot (109). When I mouse-over the link and right click to get Interaction, the full hyperlink is displayed in the Document window. I can click on the Document window and copy the hyperlink, then paste into my browser and successfully open the document. As mentioned in an earlier post, it seems that the problem is getting the link to the browser when doing the usual left mouse click on the link. Changing browsers from Firefox to Konqueror has no effect. Thanks, Bob
