--- Comment #15 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Thanks everyone, and Timur especially for clarifying.

I've changed the summary to be more descriptive of the issue.

As I was looking into this area, and seeing a couple of duplicate, I'm setting
to "new" again to check with the UX/Design team what their opinion is.

My questions to the team:
1. should this inherited feature remain, i.e. the dragging of whole hyperlink
instead of the drag-and-drop selection of part of it?
2. should we offer an option to deactivate it, given that several users are
confused by it / think it's a bug / don't like it?
3. if we offer an option, which should be the default?

App comparison:

Google Sheets, OnlyOffice, MS 365, Calligra Words and even Collabora Online
_all_ have drag-selection of part of a hyperlink as the default, just like
normal text

Happy to set this back to "not a bug" and open a new enhancement request if
that's what the team prefers.

Keep in mind: please test with a VCL plugin that is _not GTK_ as there is some
inconsistency there. (Selection of part of hyperlink sometimes _does_ work.)
