Bug #: 44081
Summary: EDITING - A form set to open in read-only mode can
never be switched back
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.5 RC1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Database

Demonstration of the bug preventing read-only forms from having the read-only
setting turned off.
A Base form that has had the "Open file read-only" setting turned on and saved
in a Base file can never be edited again. The "open file read-only" setting
can not be turned off again.
To reproduce:
1) Create a new LibreOffice Base database.
2) Create a form in the database.
3) While editing the form, select "File->Properties" and click on the
"Security" tab. Check the "Open file read-only" checkbox and click "Ok".
4) Save the form, close it, then save the Base file, and close it.
>From this point on, if you open the Base file, the form can never again be
edited.
Normally, in a Writer file (which is the closest analog to a Base form) the
setting can be turned off by:
1) Clicking the "Edit File" button in the "Standard" toolbar
2) Selecting "File->Properties", clicking on the "Security" tab, and unchecking
"Open file read-only"
However, in Base forms, the "Edit File" button is always grayed. And once the
form is saved with the "Open file read-only" setting turned on, the form always
opens with design-mode turned off and the button to turn on design-mode also
grayed. Copying the form has no effect, as the copy has the read-only setting
turned on as well.
The attached database demonstrates. There are two forms in it. One that can
be edited, one that cannot be.
