Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 72828
Hypertext link and animation result in incorrect or missing links
Last modified: 2008-08-14 16:12:46 UTC
If you add animations to text that contain hypertext links, the animation prevents you from being able to click on the link. For example: * First link: http://cbc.ca * Second link: http://cnn.com * Third link: http://news.google.com If I don't add any animations, then all the links work as expected. If you place your cursor in the first bullet and add an animation to it, then display the presentation, the link for the second link actually shows up around the area of the "Second link" text rather than the URL itself -- and the link for the third link is nowhere to be found. It looks almost as though Impress is shifting the location for each link to the left, so that by the third link the location is off the left margin of the screen and can't be found. In any case, it makes it impossible to use animations + links on the same slide. The problem occurs in 2.0.4 and 2.1. I haven't tried to recreate this with earlier versions of OOo.
Created attachment 41614 [details] Demonstrate failure of links + animation
Just reproduced the issue on OOo 2.0.2 (running on Ubuntu Linux this time) and uploaded a sample presentation demonstrating the problem. I see the same problem with 2.0.4 and 2.1.0 on Windows XP.
Reproducible. Accepted & set a target.

Same here for me. I tried with hyperlinks to a web page, a slide in the slideshow and a reference to an external file (pdf) and all failed. Using Windows2000 pro SP4 on AMD Athlon 1200Mhz machine. All the animation WITH hyperlinking trials worked on Power Point 2000 and 2002. Thanks for posting this bug - I'll watch for an eventual resolution to 72828
This bug was successfully reproduced on WinXP with OpenOffice Impress Build 2.1 and on Linux with OO Build 2.0.4. Further follow-up testing gave some additional information. Consider the following reproduction steps: 1. Open OO Impress Build 2.1 and create a new presentation. 2. Choose the Title, Text layout. 3. In five bullets, type the following addresses: www.cbc.ca, www.google.com, www.investors.ca, www.micro.org, www.finance.net 4. Add different animations to each hyperlink text. 5. View slideshow (F5). I found that only the first hyperlink is still active after animations were added. However, any other hyperlink text was not active. Also, all hyperlinks directed the user to the respective website in the Normal Layout, but none were active in the Outline Layout. This is misleading to the user who is using the Outline Layout, since the hyperlinks are displayed but clicking on them does not redirect the user to that website. Also note that the first link always appeared correctly, regardless of whether it was animated or not. Furthermore, if a non-animated hyperlink appears with animated ones, then the non-animated link is also broken. Links with many extensions were tested, including those from different countries, but the pattern did not change. Very rarely, it was found that the third hyperlink also became active, when there were more than 5 hyperlinks on the slide. Also, when the presentation is viewed, the position of the first link is active even when the slide appears blank and the hyperlink text has not yet come up on the screen. The only way around to this problem seems to be avoiding animations on any hyperlink text.

set target to 3.0
Patch applied in CWS thb30fixes -> issue fixed.
Fixed in CWS thb30fixes, please verify (note that the hyperlink area is still static, i.e. represents the final shape position - but the offsets are gone).
Verified - offset is gone.
Maybe I'm too bad, but I can't verify, that this issue is fixed. I tested it with OOo DEV300_m24 on a Intel Mac with OS X 10.5.2 I open the attached Document Start de full scren presentation with F5 key On the first slide i can klick the links on the secand i can't click it, no way. So I will reopen this issue. Add myself to CC
The CWS containing the fix, thb30fixes, is integrated in DEV300_m25 so you cannot see any positive effect in m24.
Ok, thats my error, sorry. I will wait for the m25, test, and then close it, if it all ok.
set issue to status 'fixed'
Raphael, please check in current version and close the issue. I set it to the old status 'verified'.
testet with OOO300_m1. seams to be ok Closing issue
