Sample Document

Steps how to reproduce  with server installation of  "Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+
(Build ID: 2823789bec0c029d9714aff0ed65923e23177ef) TinderBox: Win-x86@6,
Branch:master, Pull Time: 2823789bec0c029d9714aff0ed65923e23177ef" ENGLISH UI /
German Locale  on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with LO41 Masters User
Profile:

1. open attahched sample document
   > You can't edit
   > When You click icon "Edit File" in Standard Toolbar you will be asked for
     Password
2. Save document under new name
   Expected: PW protection for edits persists
   Actual: Document editable

To be honest, I am not sure whether I understand this PW protection correctly.
Help tells very general: "Undoing password protection: To remove a password,
open the document, then save without password."

So the observed behavior might be intended, but such a function would be
completely useless. When I decide that nobody should be able to edit a document
except people who know the PW, it's not acceptable that that protection can be
bypassed so easily. There seems no real difference to "Open write Protection",
the current PW Edit protection seems rather useless to me.

Already the same with LibO 3.3.3, I think this never worked as I expect.
