Bug ID: 113283
Summary: older files open only as read-only
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.6.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: peterjmgriffi...@gmail.com
Description:
When I open an old file created with an earlier version of Writer on an older
computer using XP the file opens as read-only and when I attempt to edit this
is refused and if I try to save as a new untitled file this is also refused
with a message about access rights
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open old file - it opens as a read only file with option to edit
2.attempt to edit is refused because file is locked on another system
3.attempt to save as a new copy is refused perhaps due to no access rights
Actual Results:
open an old file - option to open as read only or ignore locking and open or
cancel. Both the open options result in a read-only file being loaded.
Attempt to edit the file is refused because it is locked by me on another
system. Attempt to save a copy is refused with a note about access rights.
Expected Results:
file open ready to be edited
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: yes - tried every option in safe mode. Nothing worked.
Additional Info:
One or two old files still open okay - ready to be edited. But the majority do
not.
