            Bug ID: 136373
           Summary: PDF output from Writer generates bad URL when crossing
                    a line
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: raphael at cs.uky.edu

Description:
I use --convert-to pdf to convert an odt file to pdf.  My file includes text
describing a URL, which I link to the actual URL.  The text crosses a line
boundary; Writer inserts a hyphen at that point.  The URL looks good in Writer.
 However, the link in the generated PDF contains an extraneous %A2%CD at the
point of the hyphen into the generated URL.  It also has the same extraneous
data at the end of the URL.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a file in Writer with text containing a very long URL.
2. Link that URL to its target.
3. Use --convert-to pdf to generate a PDF file from the text.
4. Inspect the PDF at the point of the URL to see what it points to.

Actual Results:
At the place where Writer inserts a hyphen in the text, there are extraneous
characters in the underlying URL: %A2%CD.  These characters are also at the end
of the underlying URL.

Expected Results:
The URL should be exactly the one linked.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
