We confirm the behavior with unintended consequences, not todo an own bug
report here comes ower information and solution proposal.

Description:
When opening a file that has already been opened, the "Open" button can be used
to transfer a file to another user without the previous user being informed. 
The innocuous name "Open" means that the user is not made aware of the
associated consequences.

[If a file already opened by another person is opened, the file can be taken
over via the "Open" button without the person concerned being informed.
The ~lock file of user 2 is taken over and this leads to a loss of data for one
of the two people].

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open an already opened file
2. pressing the "Open" button in the notification dialogue (document in use).


Actual Results:
The file is taken over by user2 incl. ~lock file. 

[User1 is not informed of this and can continue working on the file unchanged.
When saving, a dialogue for changes in the document appears for both users,
which can be overwritten or a separate save can be enabled by clicking
"Cancel"].


Expected behaviour:
User2 is informed that he is taking over the file. This can be done by renaming
the button to "Take over file" or "Takeover", by changing the layout of the
dialogue in the same way as the other two points above or by a confirmation
dialogue (confirm or cancel) with an indication of the consequences.


Further information:
The function itself is not up for discussion, but the type of utilisation for
the normal user in terms of user understanding (human-computer interaction).

Attached our solution proposal, mockup is in german UI.
