Description coenraad 2018-12-03 14:37:32 UTC
Description:
When viewing and using a spreadsheet that contains password protected items, a modal password prompt pops up during background autosave. If the user does not know the passwords, the modal prompt just comes up in a neverending loop and Calc needs to be killed in order to get back in. 

Desired functionality would be to either skip autosaving password protected items, to only save changes, or to warn that the document won't be autosaved and just not autosaving anything. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open document with several passwords
2. Try to edit the document for longer than 5? minutes
3. Get stuck in endless password prompt loop while locked out of the app completeley

Actual Results:
As above

Expected Results:
As above


Reproducible: Always
