** Description changed:

- Hopefully the summary says it all but when a file is opened in LibreOffice 
Calc as read-only it should still be editable and allow changing of values and 
formula calculations to take place.
- I have a few spreadsheets which are used as complex calculators and I don't 
want the formulas to change but the input boxes need to except new values. The 
files have to be marked read only as they are on a shared resource and won't 
open at all if they are not and someone else has a copy open.
- I think not being able to save the file should be sufficient.
- Possibly this is a feature request rather than a bug as such but it will also 
affect anyone coming from other spreadsheet products who are used to this 
behaviour.
- Thanks.
