Hello dbieniek, to remove the hyperlinks from your cells you could just select the cells and press CTRL+M
( or choose the menu “Format : Clear Direct Formatting” )
It works sometimes, others it does not. It appears to be how I select the cell. Clicking on the individual cell didn’t work. However, selecting a group of cells around it, then, CTRL+M did clear them.
Thanks for helping me get on the right track!
You’re welcome @dbieniek,
indeed it matters how you select 1 single cell, just make sure that it gets the pink background color for selected cells, by clicking on the cell and drag the mouse around inside the cell until it becomes pink, then press CTRL+M.
Quoting @librebel: “by clicking on the cell and drag the mouse around inside the cell”
This doesn’t work for me. I need to leave the cell’s area in-between while dragging.
First LeftClick, then Ctrl+LeftClick also does the trick.

I could no longer reproduce the issue with LibO Calc V5.4.2. Just tested, and the Ctrl+M and ‘Clear Direct Formatting’ from the menu both worked as expected also if the cell under focus was not highlight-selected. Concerning the ContextMenu it only worked if either it was opened using the shortcut key (Shift+F10) or if the RightClick into the area not was on the linked text itself.
Still can’t remove hyperlinks with Calc Version: 5.4.4.2 (x64)
If the Clear Direct Formatting (Ctrl+M) is working for different directly set attributes but not for this pupose though the concerned cells are not protected, I only can suspect your user profile to be corrupted. You may cautiously try to reset it as described here.
(V 5.4.4.2 never showed the issue for me.)
The “Clear Direct Formatting” option does not remove the hyperlinks if you right-click on the hyperlink and choose it. If you right click in another area of the cell that has non-hyperlink text or is empty, or choose the cell and type Ctrl-M, then selecting “Clear Direct Formatting” does remove the hyperlinks along with all the other formatting.
This is a bug that has been reported repeatedly here and here and more. Please add your vote and voice to those bug reports to get them fixed.
These appear to be fairly old bug reports. What is the latest? Or should I add my 2c to those old ones anyway?
The bug is still there in 6.2.4.2 - July 2019.
