Hi, everybody . . .
This is a weird one. It's under Debian testing, but it happened under
Tapeworm, too. With TDE testing.
Running LibreOffice 24.8.2.1. For close to 15 years, I've had "Insert
hyperlink" in my RMB menu in text fields. With the updates (I think
specifically of LibreOffice) but cannot be absolutely sure, it's still
there. But clicking on it spawns a dialog box for character formatting. So
I deleted it and replaced it. Same thing. Renamed ~/.config/libreoffice
and reinstalled LibreOffice itself. Added "Insert hyperlink" to menu. Same
thing.
So I tred it on my notebook, also running testing/testing. Same thing.
It is easier to configure the Linux kernel than it is to configure
LibreOffice, because LibreOffice tries to allow for everything, no matter
how unlikely, and gives it all equal weight. For instance, if you go to
Tools > Customize > Context Menus, you have a choice of 49(!) menus you
can edit. The fun part is that none of the menu names is reflected in the
places where you would find those menus.
Nor are the things controlled by them accessible. I'd rename the character
formatting thing if I could find it, and see what happens then. But can't
find the frigging thing. I'd use AbiWord, but it, like KWord and Calligra,
seem to be pretty much abandoned, and in the case of the latter two
developed by people who do not know what a word processor is for.
