Description: When I open a .doc file with endnotes (for a citations list at the end), those characters are not editable, giving me the message: Readonly content cannot be changed. Modifications will not be accepted. In addition, the two neighboring characters are also listed as read-only; I cannot add delete a character that comes after the endnote nor can I add or delete a character before one. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open MS Word .doc file with endnotes. 2. Attempt to modify, delete, or insert any character near one of these endnotes. Actual Results: I cannot change nearby characters or delete the endnote. Expected Results: I should be able to at least change nearby characters even if the endnote is readonly. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I am unsure if this has to do with the fact that the document also already has “Record changes” data in it from MS Word. I do not have other documents that are not in the process of being proofread to test this.

Thank you for reporting the bug. it seems you're using a really old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
I apologize for the old version. This is just what is being push updated through Ubuntu (14.04) software updates. I don't think anything from version 5 was pushed through, nor is it found on the Ubuntu Software store, which may be another issue to be solved unless I'm just doing it wrong. I'm relatively new to linux-based systems. I'll manually install it and let you know shortly.
Hello, yes I have tried this and it does still occur with Version 5. Following build information: Version: 5.3.3.2 Build ID: 1:5.3.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~lo0 CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk2; Layout Engine: new; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
