** 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. + 1) lsb_release -rd + Description: Ubuntu 12.10 + Release: 12.10 + + 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc + libreoffice-calc: + Installed: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 + Candidate: 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 + Version table: + *** 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu4 0 + 900 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main i386 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 1:3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3 0 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main i386 Packages + + 3) What is expected to happen in Calc via a terminal: + cd ~/Desktop && wget -c https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1018002/+attachment/3243407/+files/GLASS%20CALC%203.xlr -O example.xls && chmod a-wst example.xls && localc --nologo example.xls + + one may input data into different fields, but when one attempts to save + the file, it prevents them from doing so.
