https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118826 --- Comment #3 from Tim B --- Warning the file has changed since opening is not the same as detecting it's already open when opening it. These are 2 different messages. If you try to open a file twice using the proper direct path to the real file, you should get a warning that it's already open, and choice of opening read-only or making a copy. Basically, you get blocked from opening it. I haven't personally noticed this specific issue, but it's probably the same underlying issue I do have - symlinks get destroyed and replaced with a normal file upon saving. If LibreOffice is looking at the symlink location as the file path, then it no doubt saves by destroying the "file" path (which is a symlink) and creating a new file. If the symlink was followed instead, I think both issues would be solved together. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118826 --- Comment #2 from Nigel Arnot --- Can confirm that status with 6.0.5 is as stated by JBF. However, I would still call this a serious bug. The correct situation would be that as soon as an attempt to open the file via a symlink is made, then if the target file is already open and protected by a lockfile the user should be made aware of this (including aware of who has it open -- contents of the lockfile, decoded), and then offered the choice of opening read-only or abandoning his attempt to work on the target file at this time. With the 6.0.5 behaviour the two users may make incompatible changes representing several hours work, and although a later save does not overwrite the earlier save, this is a mess to sort out which would have been avoided had the program worked as per the previous paragraph. This correct behaviour is what happens if two users attempt to open the same file simultaneously other than via a symlink. (Confirmed on 6.0.5) The target ods files are on an NFS 3 share, which might be relevant. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Saving your version of the document will overwrite changes made by others. Do you want to save anyway? Did you set User Data in Tools > Options > LibreOffice so that the program can known which user is editing the file? Status set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested informations are provided. Best regards.
