--- Comment #1 from Donald Darden <oldef...@cox.net> ---
I know that since Excel (and probably earlier), that if you type in something
really long, say an URL, and the adjacent cells on either or both sides is
empty, that the long entry will visually spill over into them.  This has never
been a good idea, as it clutters up what you see on the screen.  There should
be a way to turn this viewing aspect off, rather than having to go into the
blank cells and enter a space character.

If you have an URL in a cell, you should have the option to bring up a browser
of your designation (or the default browser) and go to that web page simply. 
As it stands now, you have to do a copy, bring up the web browser, clear the
address bar (or force a Select All), paste, then press Enter.  That is a
painful way of getting it done.  And if you select a range of cells with URLs
in them, why not have it so that each becomes a new Tab in that browser?  That
would save a lot of copy-and-paste and switching focus between the spreadsheet
and the browser.

My efforts with browsers show me that they can handle up to 30 or so open Tabs,
but this seriously impairs their performance.  It really depends on the PC'a
cpu (number of cores, rated speed), and RAM (4GB is hardly enough), but this
could either be something that the user sets his/her own limit for, or could be
part of Calc in deciding what the # limit of URLs should be.
