Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 97817
content in text field disappear when setting Hyperlink
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:25:58 UTC
[Steps] 1. Create a Writer doc. 2. Type some words, select them, "Insert" -> "Hyperlink", choose any type of hyperlink. E.g. Select Internet type, and type "http://www.google.com" in "Target" textbox. 3. Press Apply button on "Hyperlink" dialogbox. [Result] The words in "Text" textbox disappesar when pressing the "Apply" button. [Expectation] The prompt text still display after pressing "Apply" button.
This seems to be duplicate to issue 86789, which is already fixed and available in OOo3.0.1RC1 and OOoDEVm37. Feel free to reopen this issue, if you see the wrong behavior still in those newer versions. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 86789 ***

@regina I test it both in DEV300m37 on WinXP and DEV300m38 on Linux. Take inputed 3 words for instance, the phenomenon is that when you select one word, then add hyperlink, the content in "Text" textbox dosen't disappear; but if you select 2 or 3 words to add hyperlink, the content in "Text" textbox will have gone after pressing "Apply" button. So, if the string which be chosen contents "space", "comma" or "period", etc internal, the string will disappear. Would you like to have a look at it. TIA.
Hi regina, This is not a duplicte of 86789. The text is actually exist here, but somehow it can't display. Maybe the selection has involved an element which have no hyperlink property? Hi Doze_worm, In my computer, usually it works when I select some text include space, comma or period. But if I create a new document, and type a sentence, for instance, "This is a test", and select it all, insert hyperlink, then the issue will reproduce every time I try. This text is the Text field is not missing, if you don't select all the sentence, or put the cursor in anywhere in the sentence, you can see the text is there.
I cannot reproduce the problem with DEV300m37 on Win or Linux. Could you please re-check with the described steps? Maybe one little thing's missing there ?
Created attachment 59300 [details] A screen record for reproducing the problem. Open with firefox. Hope that it can be helpful.
You have marked from right to left, I have marked from left to right. That's the difference. Marking from right to left, the text in the text field is erased here too. But I thing, that it is not a big problem, because the link itself is created correctly.
@OS: Please have a look.
For me this is a P4 / OOo Later
