Controlled as an AutoCorrect option:  'URL Recognition' enabled by default.

Well I looked that up and it appears to be by individual document.


No, the user profile setting to disable conversions to Hyperlinks is
persistent, it is not just 'per document'. 

In addition to setting within a module from the AutoCorrect dialog (Tools ->
AutoCorrect -> AutoCorrectOptions -> Options tab) simply edit with a text
editor in the "registrymodifications.xcu" user profile directly. Or can be set
by LO GUI with the Tools -> Options -> 'Open Expert Configuration' dialog.

Either method, the stanza in user profile to edit is
"SetInetAttribute"--setting boolean 'True' or 'False'--at the two locations for
either while typing [AutoCorrect] or for post-editing
[Writer/AutoFunction/Format/Option]. 


The bigger problem is that there is NO WAY to remove a hyper-link one it has
been inserted. You can use Control-Z but when you exit the cell the Link is
restored (unless you have turned it off for the document). 

That has already been implemented at 6.4.0--for bug 62561, and bug 111707.
Remove the Hyperlink from context menu with the URL selected.

Generic command (Windows, Draw, Impress) is .unoRemoveHyperlink
Calc command is .unoDeleteShapeHyperlink

Still some warts--e.g. selecting _multiple_ Hyperlinks and remove the link
while leaving the text intact (with or without its formatting) and lots more
found on the bug 107733 META.

Maybe it makes sense to disable the automatic hyperlink creation by default?

Personally I find it not useful most of the time.

I kind of agree--the automatic conversion to Hyperlinks has been an annoyance
to me, but then I expect to <Ctrl>+Z immediately, making the change would
disrupt workflow most folks expect.
