[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#531992: Bug#531992: lyx: Does not wrap or format hyperlinks

[Alex Dănilă]

Hi,
thank you for the attention. I was actually curios why the "Break links" 
option does not give the effect.
I confirm, the Tex file contains "breaklinks=true" but the pdf does not 
wrap the link.
Best wishes,
:) Alex
