Description Anonymous Helper 2011-08-07 13:40:57 UTC
Put the following URL in a cell:
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/nic.htm

Most of the text is not visible because the cell is not wide enough.
When there is nothing in the cell to the right, the text should spill over.
Resizing the column is not an option since the rest of the column is much smaller and this is an anomaly.

If you don't want to implement this as a default, it should be implemented as an option since this is what Excel users have come to expect as the behaviour.

Re-saving the file to xls and opening in Excel immediately showed (in the ribbon) that Wrap Text was on the cell.
Turning this off, saving the file and opening it in Calc showed it flowing again.

After 15minutes of searching the menus and toolbar buttons (no tooltips!) I still can't see how to achieve this in Calc.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:

Reproduced in 3.6.1 on Fedora 64 bit
Problem is: LO never wraps internet-links. Not only Calc, but other modules too. As result, all documents with long links from msOffice looks different in LO.
I do not know if it is bug or feature.

PS: double click described in Bug 39909 here in with link not works too.

@Anonymous Helper: Sasha has gotten the gist of I think your problem. Do you have text-wrapping enabled on the cell with the link? If the text-wrapping is not on, then there is no problem, the overflow works and you can see the full link. If on the other hand you have text wrapping on, LibO is designed to cut off whatever is wider than the cell. 

I'm going to (for the time being) confirm that the text wrapping should act differently for long links. Also changing the name of the bug to reflect this.

If this isn't the case please leave a comment and attach a document so I can see what your settings are. I highly suspect that Sasha got this one right and it's a text wrap issue and not a spillover issue.
