Bug ID: 135356
Summary: Unwanted change in filesystem ownership when saving
documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.5.1 rc
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When LibreOffice saves documents, it changes their file permissions. This
behaviour:
a) messes with the workflow in my household, where we share one big disk, have
unix users for each member, and a 'family' unix group, which allows us to e.g.
edit all sorts of files owned by other members in the 'family' group
b) goes against what I perceive as standard practice (that personal files'
ownership and permissions should only be changed when the users request such a
change), though I'm not sure if there's any standardization document that
supports this claim
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create any document with default unix permissions of anyuser:anyuser
2. Change the group of the document, e.g with `chown anyuser:anygroup document`
3. Save the document (tested it with both Writer and Calc)
Actual Results:
Ownership is now `anyuser:anyuser`
Expected Results:
Ownership should still be `anyuser:anygroup`
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Fixing this bug, will most likely fix
