Description Clive 2019-05-02 12:06:30 UTC 
Description:
Only saving in ODS format saves and retains password protection.
Saving in MS Excel format loses password protection and can be reopened without a password.. 
Not tried all available formats but there is obviously a problem here that needs attention.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Save in MS Excel format with password.  Reopen and not asked for password
2.Save in ODS format and password protection retained.
3.Repeat several times

Actual Results:
Same results on different machines, desktops, laptops.

Expected Results:
Expected to be asked for a password on opening a spreadsheet previously saved in MS Excel format with password set but was not asked for password


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
Comment 3 Clive 2019-06-11 07:50:09 UTC 
Since reporting the bug, you issued a new release of Libre Office software and the bug no longer exists in the new release.  Problem is solved.  No further action is required.  Please close the bug report. Thank you
