Text Formatting ⇒ pagebackref and url conflict

[gkl]

Dear All,

I am using Latex's article class and using the hyperref package with the options pdftex and pagebackref=false as well as the url package (I know that hyperref defines url as well and even if removed does not change anything).

My problem is as follows: if I specify pagebackref to be true, then URLs are printed and, naturally, a hyperlink to the page number that this reference is used.

If pagebackref is turned to false, then I would expect not to get the second hyperlink printed. Instead, on top of not getting it, I also get the URL printed as plain text (something like \url{www.google.com}).

I checked hyperref's manual but I am still in the dark about it.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks,
George
