We are using the guest-session of ldm for an restricted session for
postpaid-modus.

After recent OS upgrade to 18.04, some guests experienced issues, that either 
Nautilus mounts their USB-Stick in read-only mode, as also and that is for what 
this bug report is for,
That if they open Microsoft documents (type of .docx / .doc), those documents 
are opened correctly
but Libreoffice (swriter) reject any input without any error message.

Those documents were NOT secured by any password, as guests are
claiming.

Weirder, if I copy the content of the document into, f.e. abiword, the
program still reject any change or input.

This behavior does not apply when the user creat a blank new document,
but if he try to open a microsoft documen, he is again not able to edit
the content.

This is a major issue for us, as we have already update all our three PC
to 18.04, so we have no alternative. And the customers are
unsatisfied...

Hope you can help out here.
