I have a simple WinForm with a RichTextBox control on it.
I load a simple RTF document with several links in it (created with MS Word) into the control.
The LinkClicked event does not get fired for last link in the file. It doesn't matter which link is last (the behavior isn't specific to any one link).
The link appears as a normal link in the control at runtime. The cursor changes when the link is hovered over, like all of the other links. But clicking it does not result in the LinkClicked event being rasied.

2022-10-10T12:38:22.817+00:00 I create the RTF doc with the links in it using MS Word. All the links work except the last one. Doesn't matter which link is last.

2022-10-11T09:19:18.91+00:00 @Kipp Woodard , thanks for providing the code, Could you provide your rtf file? I think it may be related to the content of rtf file.

2022-10-11T14:43:09.547+00:00 The file was created using MS Word.
I am not able to attach the file. It is RTF, a type that is not allowed. I tried zipping it and also renaming it to TXT but it still wasn't allowed to attach.

2022-10-13T08:27:38.58+00:00 @Kipp Woodard , thanks for the feedback, based on my test, I reproduced your problem. I am not sure if it is related to rtf file. Does the problem still appear if you used other types of file, such as word or pdf file?

I'm not sure what you mean about trying other types of files. DOCX and PDF won't load into the RichTextBox control. The links work in Word, if it is in DOCX or RTF format. The links work in Edge if I save it in PDF format.
