Created attachment 110262 [details] Screenshot of issue in action If you create a hyperlink with a single character label, if you select text from right to left it will cause text field to be empty in Edit Hyperlink interface. It works as expected if selected from left to right. After editing the link if you don't manually restore the text, hyperlink editor will automatically replace the text / label of hyperlink with the link itself. Exactly what happens when no text/label is supplied to a freshly created hyperlink. Attached a screenshot of issue and a sample document.

Hello Alex, Thank you for submitting the bug. I can confirm that the bug is available in 3.3.0 and master on Linux. I can confirm that this happens with a single character or multiple characters in the text of the hyperlink. The main issue is that right to left selection to the beginning of the text is causing the problem.

I have basically the same problem when selecting a hyperlink from right to left, although it occurs only when you start dragging in a very pixel-precise small area exactly on the right. But in my case the problem is more destructive: if you only want to select a hyperlink (for copying) and this problem occurs, the link and its text completely disappear from the document. It can be undone with an Undo, which suggests that under the hood a different or an extra command is executed other than simply selecting. Windows 7 64-bit LibreOffice (Writer) 4.3.5.2
