Hyperlinks and Trados Studio 2014

Hello, today I bring a problem with Trados Studio 2014. When I build a document in Word 2007 format (.docx) that contains hyperlinks, Trados corrupts the export document. All the previous process (import, translation, export) works well, but the final document will not open in Word.
The document should be built with some part like that: some text, paragraph break, a hyperlink, paragraph break, paragraph break, line break and finally a paragraph break (see screenshot).

Now, I show the xml code from this ".docx" document. The first screenshot is the xml code from the original ".docx" and the second the xml from exported ".docx" by Trados. You can clearly see the final block and closing xml tags is missing. This is because the Trados filter removes xml code in the Word document and is not able to successfully complete the code when the document is constructed in the manner that I mentioned earlier.

By default, the Trados filter for ".docx" files is set to "Always process hyperlinks" option but if you change to "Extract only text hyperlinks" option, the problem will be solved.

I understand that the 2014 Trados version is out of the development team plans, and this problem is not a preference but here I leave the problem in case the team wants to solve it or someone has this problem and don't know how to solve it.

In Trados 2015 there is no problem, solved in this new version.

Best Regards.
