Description jdschwa 2014-09-10 20:19:40 UTC

Problem description: 
Hyperlinks to file:// are converted to smb:// automatically. There appears to be no way of creating the hyperlink to go where I want it to go (file://server), which means I can't link to an intranet location from libreoffice. Tested in Impress and Writer.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert a hyperlink to file://server

Current behavior:
Hyperlink is not created to file://server, but instead smb://server

Expected behavior:
Hyperlink should link to requested target.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this.

Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2014-09-10 20:52:11 UTC

It's been like this since
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0b9ef81ba5ff08d85f21275222458a5b9b9e484c

Fridrich: reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme, I don't understand why there should be this automatic replace.

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.0.1 or preferably 5.0.2.2 or later)
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword

I must search in history but here a code pointer:

Comment 7 Xisco Faulí 2016-09-15 11:46:21 UTC

It's still reproducible in

Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: f21ff5b68feca83207c5e7050e48d10079363322
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.2; UI Render: default; 
Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group

Besides, adding keywords 'regression' and 'bisected' and changing version to '3.3 all versions' as the problematic commit was already in that version

With bug #128598 fixed - which removed the change causing this issue - this should be gone too.
