--- Comment #6 from kevin seslar <kevinseslar at comcast.net> ---
Awesome work guys, thank you!  Consider this bug squashed (I have circumvented
it by not using that functionality anymore) BUT imho additional documentation
would be nice & would have saved me weeks of work.  Admit I did not go straight
to testing for problem resolution, so this has haunted me for months perhaps. 
But I figured it out.  Thank you again. 

I don't know how to request additional/change to existing documentation, but
allow me to suggest it here please:  Request a paragraph or note added to
either Writers Guide 6.0 (existing) Note page 78, or Getting Started Guide 6.0
(existing) Note/Tip page 338; at the end of one of those Note(s) something
like: 

“Also, if relative links are enabled (via the menu Tools > Options > Load/Save
> General, e.g. with only “save URLs relative to the local file system”
checkbox checked) be advised that if the file is saved to a different location
than it was originally saved to:  The file save operation will automatically
attempt to retain the original destination for all the (document file) links,
and that save operation will change all the original relative links into
absolute URL links. This is expected design behavior and it is not unique to
LibreOffice.  If any of the links are “Web” or internet links, then LibreOffice
will not try to change them, as they were not relative links to begin with.  So
if you desire to retain relative paths in the document for hyperlinks to other
files:  first save the document then copy and paste the document (along with
the linked files & path) to the new location/directory.  That will ensure that
the “save to new location” behavior does not change the relative hyperlink
destinations into absolute URLs for the LibreOffice document when the document
will be opened in a different path/directory.”
