Bug ID: 126779
Summary: Issues in File Unlocking when program is closed
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am currently working on a project editing various tabs in scalc, loading into
a database to create mail merge and address label documents.
I had, scalc, sbase, swriter( label ) all open. and eventually i saved & closed
sbase, swriter and all programs and only scalc is open
I click file > new > database > connect to spreadsheet >finish > and then
save.. I choose the existing database ( which i closed) .. However i get an
error saying it cannot be overwritten , pointing that file is open... While
file is closed.
So somewhere along the way , a lock on a file in soffice suite is not getting
unlocked , unless all other open programs in soffice suite are closed.
Version: 6.2.5.2 (x64)
Build ID: 1ec314fa52f458adc18c4f025c545a4e8b22c159
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: default; VCL: win;
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: CL
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open excel / scalc
2. Create a database & save as some database with a name
3. Save & Close the database
4. Now make changes to excel/ scalc.
5. Save scalc.
6. You wish to update your database with the new data on the database u
created.
7. Create new database > follow database steps and register database > but you
want to overwrite this over the previous database.
8> Are you able to overwrite or unable to ( since database file appears locked
) and preventing overwrite.
Of-course you can create as a new database, but that is not the point. The
persistence of a closed file as a locked file is not an expected feature.
>> Now attempt this by closing all the soffice tools, restart and try... It
>> will work...
No, Please Don't tell me user profile. I have deleted and re-initialized user
profile umpteen times. So profile is NOT CORRUPTED.
Actual Results:
This is a redundant column. Its like repeating the things I said above in
description and steps to reproduce. Please remove this redundant column
( " Actual Results ")
Expected Results:
A lock on a file that is NOT open in write mode must be immediately released.
A read only file must never be locked.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
