Description:
When attempting to apply autocorrect to text that contains URLs to convert to hyperlinks (https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/6393/how-may-i-do-writer-recognize-hyperlinks-automatically/) causes Writer to stop responding requiring a force quit.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new Writer document.
2. Turn URL recognition on - Tools | Auto Correct | Auto correct options | Options tab
3. Insert text containing URLs (see below)
4. Set paragraph style to default
5. Apply auto correct - Tools | Auto Correct | Apply

Actual Results:
Libre Office hangs

Expected Results:
Auto correct applied, text urls converted to hyperlinks

Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Bug is evident in both deb and snap versions of LO, but not in earlier 5.x or 6.x series.

Sample test with URLs:
This webpage is and example of a url that should be able to be converted to a hyperlink <https://www.example.com/>. As is this page <http://www.example.org/> and this page <http://adjustment.example.com/aunt>.

These pages should also be able to be converted using the method linked to above <https://www.example.org/#brother>, <http://www.example.com/airport.php#blade>.

A typical use for a page like this would be a bibliography or reference list <http://www.example.com/>.
