Hi guys,

I spend some time with fiddling around with one annoying GUI bug. It affects at least the components Writer and Calc.

Target:

I wanted to create some document templates with file sharing passwords so that only allowed users can edit the templates.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new document (in Writer for example). Save as a template file (ott) with file sharing password. Go to LibreOffice main window. Select 'Edit Templates', select template, click 'Edit'. Template will open in read only mode. If you click 'Edit Document' nothing happens.
The same happens for file encrypted templates but the opening procedure will cancel without message before 'Edit Document' appears.

Workaround:

After the try to open the template, it will appear in the recent document list. If you open it from there and you click 'Edit Document', access is granted.

My machine:
GNU/Linux (Debian jessie)
amd64
Libreoffice Still 5.0.6.3 (official debs, not in your above list of versions)

Greetings,

Stephan

Dear stephan.petzold.privat,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
