--- Comment #11 from Nick Levinson <Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com> ---
This still fails for all five characters when each one is trailing in a URL and
the URL was typed or pasted directly into a document, as most users would do.
Most users would not use the obscure kludge Insert > Hyperlink if they don't
need a link text that differs from the link destination. They wouldn't even
know they should, since they would simply type the URL and, if they're not
geeks, probably wouldn't notice that the link is incomplete. Most people don't
proofread character by character.

The screenshot I've uploaded not only shows the links as incomplete but shows
the tooltip giving a URL and the URL in the tooltip is incomplete.

I run Fedora 31 Linux, kept evergreen, and LO was part of an update in the last
week or so, yet I don't have the version cited in comment 9. The version cited
in comment 9 was not available at the first link in comment 8. If that
unavailable version works, what matters is what's available to the public. What
is available as essentially stable through the first link in comment 8 is older
than mine, thus irrelevant. The slightly newer version is evidently not meant
for the general nongeek public. Therefore, I'm changing the status, because
worksforme is inappropriate for a version cited in comment 9 but not available
to the public.

Info from the About LibreOffice dialog in Writer as installed on my platform
and updated by Fedora and still having the problem in this bug report:
Version: 6.3.3.2.0+
Build ID: 6.3.3.2-7.fc31
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

I tried correcting the bug's Summary to include the pipe, but I'll try again.
