Hi Harald -
So we discussed this a bit in QA and are marking as WONTFIX - let me explain
the decision and then if you disagree, please feel free to email the QA mailing
list and ask for additional opinions. Please do not change the status of this
bug without first emailing the QA mailing list - thanks!
Justification:
(1) If a user is taking the step to change from edit mode to read-only mode,
they have taken a proactive step towards changing how they interact with the
document. By doing this they should not be surprised when a save dialog
appears;
(2) If a user has different expectations, these will be clearly changed to
understand how it works after just doing it one or two times
(3) has very little impact on anyone's workflow;
(4) In the very worst case scenario someone could make some edits, switch to
read only mode, spend some time (let's say multiple sessions without closing
LibreOffice) reading the document, then upon closing it brings up the diaglog.
Now it's been some hours or days since you last actually made changes. Then
user thinks "well...no" and loses changes or "well....sure" and accepts changes
without knowing what they accepted.
(5) Auto-save is disabled in read-only mode I believe (I could be wrong here)
which poses additional problems
Again - if you disagree please email the QA list and see what others think.
Thanks!
