Hello...  I think I have found a bug in LOcalc's handling of  HREF="url" when
LOcalc saves its sheet in .html format. Here's the procedure to expose the
bug:

I'm running LibreOffice 3.4.4 on WinXP SP3.  

1) Open Calc by clicking on desktop shortcut to <LibreOffice
3.4/program/scalc.exe>.

2) Type "Text with HYPERLINK" into cell A1.

3) Select cell A1 and hi-lite HYPERLINK in Formula Toolbar.

4) Click hyperlink icon in Standard Toolbar and select DOCUMENT.

5) Type  link.html  in Path. Click APPLY and CLOSE.

6) Click SAVE and save file as File Name: abc  and Type: HTML  on the
Desktop.  Choose "Keep Current Format".   File "abc.html" is created.

7) Exit Calc using X in upper right corner.



8) Drag&drop abc.html into a text editor (I use EditPlus)

9) See  HREF="link.html"  in the  ...  directive.

   NOTE: This behavior is what we expect since "link.html" was what was
entered in the hyperlink interaction above (#5).

10) Close the editor.



11) Drag&drop abc.html into the Calc desktop shortcut.

12) Using SAVE AS, save the page/sheet as File Name: abc  and Type: HTML &
Keep Current Format.  Select "overwrite" to save the new abc.html over the
previous one.

13) Exit Calc using X in upper right corner.



14) Drag&drop abc.html into the text editor again.

15) See that  HREF=  is now:

     HREF="file:///C:/Documents and Settings/username/Desktop/link.html"

16) It's now been changed to an **ABSOLUTE** path and the abc.html file can
only operate properly when it resides on the desktop. If it were moved
(along with "link.html") to another folder it would not be able to find
"link.html"...

Since I'm creating documentation that will be updated in the future by some
as-yet-unknown individual (noobie?), I need Calc's SAVE and/or SAVE AS to
operate consistently and accurately; not gratuitously changing things that I
have not changed!

Do you have an explanation that would let me believe that this behavior was
intended?

73,
     Gary
