Sorry for the delay. This happens on any .xlr file with 400 permissions (read-only). This is not related to being marked read-only on a windows share as I have transfered the file to a test system and marked it read-only using the linux permissions. I have attached a file that this specifically happens on. It is a calculation program and the cells A7, B7, C7, D7 and E7 should be altered to calculate a price. However when opened in read-only mode the cells themselves are read-only not the file. I think this behaviour is not expected. I would expect the cells to allow modification but the file not to be "save-able".
I will also be raising a bug with Writer as well as it seems this is the norm for Writer too as an .odt document can not be altered from within Writer if it is read-only. Again I don't think this is the expected behaviour. ** Attachment added: "GLASS CALC 3.xlr" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1018002/+attachment/3243407/+files/GLASS%20CALC%203.xlr -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018002 Title: spreadsheets opened in read only mode can not be edited To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1018002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
