          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 80777
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: FILEOPEN: enhancement:  if a read-write file is
                    attempted to be opened in read-only, nothing happens
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
        Whiteboard: BSA
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.5.2 release
         Component: UI
           Product: LibreOffice

I only tested this with Calc and xls files.

1.  Open a file in read-write mode (the default).
2.  Next, choose File > Open from menu.
3.  Check the "read-only" box in the open file dialog.
4.  Select the same file that is already open read-write.
5.  Click "Open."

Result:  Nothing.  In particular, there is no indication that the file has
changed state to read-only.  I say this based on no such indicator in the
window title, and no graying-out of editing buttons.  (I have not checked the
actual status of the file handle.)

Expected result:  Mode of that file should toggle from read-write to read-only,
probably with a warning that changes might be lost.  That is what the very old
version of Excel that I use does.

Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
