Priority: medium
Bug ID: 65498
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Cannot leave from readonly mode FILESAVE
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Preface: We have some commonly used spreadsheets on our server and the policy
to open them read-only for viewing and switch to edit mode only for editing.
For this, we add the buttons "Edit File" (Datei bearbeiten in my German l10n)
and "Reload" to our LO toolbars, and we use shortcuts with the -view command
line option.
To reproduce:
Open an existing document either with the -view command line option, or, from
inside LO with its dialog ticking the "read-only" box.
LO opens it as desired in read-only mode, indicating "Write Protected"
(Schreibgeschützt) in its title bar.
For editing, click on the added button "Edit File" — the format toolbar
appears, the file is now editable. But the lock file is not created, the
title bar still shows "Write Protected", the "Save" button is still greyed
out: I cannot save the edited file.
On the other hand: when first opening in edit mode and then switching to
read-only, I can switch back and forth fine.
This is a regression, it worked fine before. I believe this bug appeared with
3.5 or 3.6.
On a related note: in earlier OOo, we got a nice dialog when trying to open a
already opened and locked document, explaining who has already locked the file
and giving the options to abort, open read-only or get a local copy. Since
several LO versions, this regressed to a meaningless error message.
