TM->MAV: reproducible in a m12, please have a look, thanks. This is a very old behavior and actually a feature. It was explicitly implemented in the way that the document opened for editing but the UI does not allow to edit the document. mav->fl: As we have discussed, the requested behavior looks to be more consistent. Setting the target 3.x for now. We have a similar problem where there's one person controlling a MS Excel spreadsheet and all the others can use it for reference. The file is setup to open read only or read/write with a password. The master can open the file at any time to modify it and the other users can open it for reference (read only) at any time using MS Excel. With OpenOffice, if at least one user has it opened read only, the master can not modify the file. He has to find all the users that have the file opened and ask them to close it before being able to modify the file. This is more a bug than a feature or is a bad feature. Is there a way in the options to fix this?? I looked but I didn't find anything. Thanks, Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org". |
