I have tested in 7.6.5.2 and now in 24.2.5.2, and I don't believe this has been
solved. Calc still behaves poorly when dealing with files in read-only mode.

Yesterday I waited until my colleague opened a spreadsheet first (in full edit
mode), I followed by opening the same file in read-only mode. A couple hours
later he was unable to save his work because my instance of Calc had locked it.
He didn't close the spreadsheet and re-open, so I suspect his computer went to
sleep during his lunch break and it relinquished control of the file at that
time. 

Regardless of how his Excel lost control of the document, a read-only instance
of Calc on my computer should not have put a lock on his file. Once I closed
Calc he was able to save his changes.

I've also found that when I open the file (in read-only mode) before he does,
Calc locks it. This is not how read-only should work. Read-only Calc should
behave as an observer, a spectator, and not interfere with other users.

Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.
