Bug ID: 170393
Summary: XML Form document turns read-only
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.4.2 release
Hardware: ARM
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I created a new XML Form document on macOS with Libreoffice Writer and exported
it a few times successfully as PDF/UA.
Then I upgraded Libreoffice to 25.8.4. (this may not be related).
Now when I access my document, all areas of the document are read-only, except
the form fields themselves and one image at the beginning of the document.
I have tried turning "design mode" on and off but it did have any effect.
I have tried to go to "Sections" in the Format menu, but the entire Format menu
is greyed out (with the exception of "Watermark…").
When I open the .odt document on another Mac with Libreoffice 25.2.2.x I get
the same issue.
I'm attaching the problematic document to this issue.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open file
2. position the cursor on some text element. Note that the cursor doesn't
appear
3. enter text. A popup appears "Write-protected content cannot be changed. No
modifications will be accepted".
Actual Results:
see above
Expected Results:
There must be a way to disable this read-only attribute.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The software should have told me how to remove the write protection.
