Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 63335
Find and Replace destroys hyperlinks
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
1. Create a new Calc document. 2. Write "This is a link" in cell A1. 3. Select "is", Insert -> Hyperlink, URL: "http://www.openoffice.org", Text: "is", OK 4. The word "is" is correctly linked to www.openoffice.org 5. Edit -> Find And Replace -> "is" by "was", Replace All. Expected: 6. The text "This was a hyperlink" appears, "was" inherits link. Actual: 6. The text "This was a hyperlink" appears, but link is lost. This is broken also when replacing a part of multi-word hyperlink texts. [Reported by ALex during Italian QA tests]
confirmed with 680_m158 on WinXP Pro SP2
As it never worked as you've expected and so it works as designed, it's not a defect but an enhancement. Therefore re-assigned to requirements

This is still not done in OOo 3.2. Will it ever be fixed?
