Description:
In trying to get LibreOffice Calc 24.2.0.3's password protection feature
working, I have uncovered and reported two (2) critical bugs:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159519
and
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159512
In an attempt to work around these critical bugs, I tried enabling what appears
to be a new experimental password protection feature, described in:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105844#c47
As specified in that post, I enabled LibreOffice Calc's Experimental Features.
Now, when trying to use LibreOffice Calc to password protect a file, the result
is immediate data loss.
STR below.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice Calc 24.2.0.3 (X86_64).
2. Enable Experimental Features via {{bc|Tools|Options|LibreOffice|Advanced}}.
3. Restart LibreOffice Calc to allow the Experimental Features to take effect.
4. Create a new spreadsheet by adding a string to cell A1.
5. Save the new spreadsheet with a password.
6. Close LibreOffice Calc.
7. Open LibreOffice Calc.
8. Open the spreadsheet saved in step 5.
9. Notice no password is needed, and the spreadsheet is empty.
Actual Results:
No password is needed, and the spreadsheet is empty.
Expected Results:
Password required. Spreadsheet contains its data.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
