--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Confirming behavior on Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US with
Version: 6.2.3.2 (x64)
Build ID: aecc05fe267cc68dde00352a451aa867b3b546ac
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Printing of ligatures (e.g. tt, ti, ffi) to gs based PDF generators can corrupt
URLs for some fonts.

OTF ligature support was not enabled, but on printing for some strings of URLs
ligatures are used and corrupt the URL (noticed "tt" in http or https, and at
least a "ti" (from time), "ffi" (from office).

No solid reporducer--maybe autocorrect recognition of URL, while writer shell
is unaware of ligature use disrupts URL?
