Text Formatting ⇒ Linebreak in URL breaks Link Target

[foobert]

Hi,

in a larger document I have the problem. If a URL is broken into multiple lines, clicking on the first part of the broken URL, the browser opens only with the first part.

An example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
Attribution-No Derivative Works as Refer
\url{http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/de/}
to view a copy of the full license.
\end{document}

In this example, the URL is broken into

http://creativecommons.org

/licenses/by-nd/3.0/de/

When I click on the first part http://creativecommons.org opens. When I click on the second part http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/de/ opens.

Using: MacTex 2008, XeTeX (xelatex XeTeX 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.6 (Web2C 7.5.7)), Preview.app and Skim.app

Do you know how to resolve the bug?

THanks, Foobert

Hi Foobert,

welcome to the board!
The example is working fine for me, with pdfLaTeX, LaTeX, XeLaTeX, tried with Okular and the Adobe Reader. But also your attached pdf file did work. Perhaps try another pdf reader to check if the reader is not working well.

The sample seems to work for evince too.

As, it only malfunctions on Mac OS X PDF Renders (Skim & Preview.app) it seems to be a Mac OS X related bug.
