Created attachment 81493 [details] Test file for reproducing the bug Issue in short: in some documents I am unable to remove underlining for hyperlinks and change font color without extra steps to avoid the bug. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the attached file. 2. Select "Gentoo" word and try to remove underlining - WORKS. 3. Change color to black - DOES NOT WORK. Instead of making the word black, it makes it blue and underlined again. 4. Make the same text italic - now it works as expected. 5. Hit Ctrl+I again and you can see that it is only now what I was supposed to get in step 3.
There are many other ways to reproduce this and to avoid it, but they all show that OpenOffice.org is not working as expected. Lastly, if you select anything, which would include normal text and hyperlinks, then formatting actions would only apply to the normal text, but not the hyperlinks, or they would apply in a difficult to predict way.
Confirmed with Rev. 1520602 Debian.
