Description kurtm 2018-11-28 21:48:59 UTC
Description:
Used LibreOffice Calc to create and XLSX file type and chose the password option at the time it was saved. This function worked until I updated to version 6.1.3.2 (x64). After update, I could open the file without the password. No password was required. There was no prompt. I used "save as" to select the password option again. A prompt appeared asking if I want to replace existing password. I replied "yes" and reentered the password. Password protection worked perfectly after that.
I update LibreOffice frequently and this issues happens each time. I am finally creating a bug ticket for the problem. It is a major issue in regards to protecting confidential information.
OS = Windows 10 Pro

Steps to Reproduce:
I used "save as" to select the password option again. A prompt appeared asking if I want to replace existing password. I replied "yes" and reentered the password. Password protection worked perfectly after that.

Actual Results:
Password protection worked perfectly.

Expected Results:
After an upgrade of LibreOffice software, password protected files should not open until the user enters the required password.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I have not tested this with other components beside Calc. I suspect it will occur with other components.

I can not confirm. Created xlsx password protected file with version LO 6.1.2 and when I try to open this file in version 6.3, LO ask for password. Also tested LO 4.4 -> open file in LO 6.1.2. Tested on windows7.
Please attach test file which is password protected in older version and not password protected in LO 6.1.3.

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO', so please do change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once you have attached a document.
