Description John Shabanowitz 2011-04-29 18:40:01 UTC

LibreOffice 3.3.2 
OOO330m19 (Build:202)

Centrino2 Duo T9400

Windows 7 Professional

Open a text document, type anything. Click on Tools Menu > Options > Expand LibreOffice > Security > Click Options Button > Check box "Recommend password protection on saving > Click OK > Click Ok. 

Now Save the document. You get a dialogue box suggesting you password protect the document. The file will not save if you click cancel. You MUST enter a password to save the file. 

This bug is in all components. I always protect calc files. I didn't notice it until I wanted to save a non critical text file. 

Either change the wording on the option to Require Password on Save or change the default behavior to that of allowing a save without a password if you over ride the password box.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

In version 3.4.5 and 3.5.0, if you clic on OK without providing a password LO ask you to provide a password OR to check the "open in read-only mode" check box.
If you do that you don't need a password. On the next opening, the file is opened in read-only mode and you can switch in edit mode by clicking on the Edit button.

So you can save a file without password, event if the security option is checked.

Closing as WorksForMe.
