Priority: medium
Bug ID: 81833
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: ProtectForm attribute in settings.xml cannot
be changed in Writer.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
In some documents (I'm working with [1]) there is a ProtectForm attribute set,
which persists after saving .doc to .odt, which disables editing of any content
outside of some kind of form "fields". "Design mode" doesn't work, and "Format
> Sections" menu item is greyed out. Nothing else worked, and I've found a
mention of this ([2],[3]) and a fix in [3] which works. This implies that there
is no method (or no easily visible one) to change that flag inside of Writer.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a document
2. Try to edit something outside of fields
3. Try to disable this protection
Current behavior:
Editing is prohibited, and there is no visible way to disable protection
without manual editing of .odt.
Expected behavior:
There is a way to do this.
