Summary of the issue you are facing:

Hyperlinks are barely noticeable and do not have an editable styling in the browser.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Create a new .odt or .docx file & open it.

  2. Type some text, type hyperlinks to websites. See that they are automatically formatted to a grey-blue color with an underline.

  3. Open the sidebar with character styles.

  4. Edit the Internet Link with its Font Color to a bright color to make the link stand out. ( (Format → Style list / Format → Open the Styles Deck / View → Style list) → Character Styles → Right click: Internet Link → Edit Style → Font Effects → Font Color)

  5. See that the hyperlink color did not change on the screen (which is what I would expect).

  6. Do additional checks:

    1. See that the Print preview does show the new colors, regardless of selecting the text or not. (File → Print…)
    2. Select Highlight styles, which shows that the typed hyperlinks did not automatically got the Internet Link-Character Style. (I would expect that automatically at step 2.)
    3. Try to enforce changing the color of the link by: 1) Selecting the text, and 2) Applying the Internet Link-Character Style. See that visually nothing changes (unless you selected other characters too by accident).
    4. Open the file outside of Collabora Online (e.g. locally in Word). See that text selected at 6.2 did got the new colors, but other links did not get any hyperlink color (no the visual grey-blue one of Collabora Online, nor the new bright color). See that it the typical hyperlinks can only be seen when hovering over it with a mouse.
