I have also run into this problem, but I am not if OpenOffice should really know
about URLs, or whether it should have a more flexible algorithm for very long
words with slashes in them (in which case it makes sense to break after a
slash). This applies not just to URLs, but also to file names.

By the way, it is already very easy to work around this problem: control-slash
adds a "no width, optional break" and if you add such a thing after every slash,
you get exactly the behavior you want, except you have much more control: you
are free not to add control-slash for short URLs, you are free to allow breaks
after only some of the slashes but not others, and you're free to allow breaks
also in other places, not just slashes (e.g., image a long URL with "?" and "&"
parts.

With this control-slash available, I'm not sure any other solution specific to
URLs is necessary. Perhaps control-slash should just be advertised more
(searching in Google, I see many people asking how to break up URls, and nobody
seemed to realize that control-slash is available)
