Turn URL recognition on - Tools | Auto Correct | Auto correct options | Options tab Insert text containing URLs (see below) Set paragraph style to default Apply auto correct - Tools | Auto Correct | Apply Actual result: Libre Office hangs Expected result: Auto correct applied, text urls converted to hyperlinks 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 <https://www.example.com/>. As is this page <http://www.example.org/> and this page <http://adjustment.example.com/aunt>. These pages should also be able to be converted using the method linked to above <https://www.example.org/#brother>, <http://www.example.com/airport.php#blade>. A typical use for a page like this would be a bibliography or reference list <http://www.example.com/>.
