Hi :) +1 Usually it all works very smoothly and it's kinda nice to see the lock-file appear and vanish as if by magic. Definitely a feature and NOT a bug, except when something else throws a spanner in the works Regards from Tom :)

I think that ~lock is used to control access to the document you have open. To stop another user from changing it unless you have enabled multiple user access for simultaneous editing. Usually it goes when you close the document, sometimes they stay after closing LO and I delete them.
