I got an e-mail from bugzilla requesting I re-verify this bug with the latest version of LibreOffice (Collabora Office Android). Here are the results: 1. As I no longer have Android 9, I retested Collabora version 4.2.3.3 in Android 11. I found the opening a MS Office file (or a .ods file) from "My Files" still opens the file read-only. HOWEVER, opening it from Collabora file browser ALSO opens the file read-only, but with out a read-only warning. 2. I installed Collabora version 21.11.6.1 from the Google Store, and found that opening MS Office files from both "My Files" and the Collabora file browser the files are opened read-only, with warning but the blue Edit button is now visible. Attempting to edit, gives you a file selection menu to create and save a copy for editing. Since the operation between "My Files" and the Collabora browser is now consistant (sub optimal, but consistant), and a Google search shows that the "open read-only" problem for MS Office and ODT/ODS files has spread beyond Collabora to other Android apps and beyond Android to ChromeOS, I'm going to assume there isn't much the LibreOffice developers can do about it. Therefore I am marking the status as RESOLVED - WORKSFORME as requested.
Thanks for retesting and for the feedback, Glenn!
