--- Comment #5 from Michael Warner <[email protected]> ---
I think you are mixing up two different things here.

> document in use
> The document file "Themen zum Test 30.11.21.docx" is locked for editing by:

When LO on your desktop opened the file, it created a small hidden file in the
same directory. This way, if another copy of LO tries to open the same file, it
can check for the hidden file to know if it's already open somewhere else. 

When you tried to open the file on your laptop, LO found the lock file from
your desktop. This might have happened if the file was located on a server, you
were opening it from a shared folder, or maybe if you copied over the directory
to your laptop while it was open on the desktop. In any case, it worked as
designed.

This is completely independent of marking a file as read only or write
protected in the file system attributes.
