Bug ID: 141026
Summary: Lock files and privacy (leaking user and computer
name)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
As a teacher, I create my documents on my personnal computer.
I then display my document on the blackboard with a video projector.
However, I some time end-up with a message telling me my file is locked from
editing by XXX. With XXX being my personnel computer name and username (it also
contain path to libreoffice which can also leak some informations). All student
can see this message. The issue is that my username on my computer is not my
real name but the nickname I use on internet. Which means student can see my
private nickname and hence see what I say on internet.
Two solutions would be possible :
→ don't show the user/computer name immediatly on the popup but put to button
"Show more" to display them.
→ add a settings somewhere in libreoffice to anonymise data in lock file /
allow to choose computer / user name in lock file
(or both solution)
