--- Comment #3 from stromennor...@mail.com ---
Dieter, I am using the 7.0.5.2 (x64) version of Libre Office. I'm not a power
user or a computer nerd so I don't want to be downloading alpha versions of the
software or whatever and playing in safe mode.
The thing that stood out in your reply to me is your step 7. This seems to be
the issue as this procedure is new and was not the case with my previous
version of Libre Office.
Think about the implications of this default:
Someone creates a password protected file. They leave the document unattended
and a stranger comes by and alters or deletes the document without the owners
knowledge because no password as is required to do that, as used to be case.
What is the logic of the change? Is it an improvement on the system which
existed before, where any changes to the document required a password to carry
them out?
In any case, I created a new document on my current build of Writer and used
the Save As function to backup the document and I had the box ticked for
creating a password. I accidentally saved it to my PC, instead of my USB, as I
had intended to. When I made changes to the document and clicked to Save As, no
password was required.
A password was not required when opening the document after I had closed it
after the first time that I had saved changes. It looks like the box for
password protection was not ticked.
My previous version of Libre Office must have had the box for password
protection ticked by default when it came to that document in particular. That
is the sensible default behaviour for the software. The change in software
behaviour is bad on many levels, mainly for security and privacy reasons.
