Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
When using OpenOffice.org to open an attachment from an email, and to edit it,
OpenOffice.org pops up two message box:
- The first one to notify that you don't have enough permissions to edit the
document, and offers an "OK" button.
- The second one notifies that you still don't have enough permissions but you
might want to edit a copy, with a standard "yes/no/cancel" set of buttons.
The first message box is quite redundant - if it provides any extra
information that the second message box does not, then that information
can be integrated into the second message box. The first message box is
also problematic as its a notification for the user on something which
is not fatal, the user has no control over, and does not provide any
options on how to proceed. I suspect that most users do not even read
that message, instead they identify the message box immediately as
useless (due to the single button) and click through it.
This rather common use case can be slightly streamlined by doing away
with the first message box.
This happens for all OpenOffice.org applications. I suspect the same
problem also happens when trying to edit a document by another user on
the same computer, but I can't figure out other scenarios that will
trigger this behavior.
