<pre>Description:
When attempting to apply autocorrect to text that contains URLs to convert to
hyperlinks
(<a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/6393/how-may-i-do-writer-recognize-hyperlinks-automatically/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/6393/how-may-i-do-writer-recognize-hyperlinks-automatically/</a>)
causes Writer to stop responding requiring a force quit.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new Writer document.
2. Turn URL recognition on - Tools | Auto Correct | Auto correct options |
Options tab
3. Insert text containing URLs (see below)
4. Set paragraph style to default
5. Apply auto correct - Tools | Auto Correct | Apply
Actual Results:
Libre Office hangs
Expected Results:
Auto correct applied, text urls converted to hyperlinks
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Bug is evident in both deb and snap versions of LO, but not in earlier 5.x or
6.x series.
Sample test with URLs:
This webpage is and example of a url that should be able to be converted to a
hyperlink <<a href="https://www.example.com/">https://www.example.com/</a>>. As is this page <<a href="http://www.example.org/">http://www.example.org/</a>>
and this page <<a href="http://adjustment.example.com/aunt">http://adjustment.example.com/aunt</a>>.
These pages should also be able to be converted using the method linked to
above <<a href="https://www.example.org/#brother">https://www.example.org/#brother</a>>,
<<a href="http://www.example.com/airport.php#blade">http://www.example.com/airport.php#blade</a>>.
A typical use for a page like this would be a bibliography or reference list
<<a href="http://www.example.com/">http://www.example.com/</a>>.
