Hi,

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

Hi Xisco,

thanks for testing.
After double checking, I realized that the bug is only triggered by one specific document.

I can't add new caracters, or edit a new oage style for example in this document.
However, I can change the exisiting styles (I tried to change a subtitle style to italic, and saving the document, it worked)

So the bug is triggered by a specific libreoffice document, but I contains private data, I can't share it.

Mathieu, did you retest with a fresh user profile as Xisco asked you in comment 1?

=> NEEDINFO

Hi,

sorry I missed this part of your comment.

I started LibreOffice Writer, and restarted it in safe mode, and opened my document.

I was still unable to do any changes, so I think my user profile isn't the root cause of this.

Any other ideas to test ?

thanks !

If it's only in one specific document, it will be hardly possible to reproduce it, without that document. Perhaps it is possible to remove personal data?

So, I decided to do some investigations, and I installed 2 VMs in VirtualBox
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 20.04

And I sent my ODT file there to test it.
I was able to edit the file in both cases.

So the problem was coming from my configuration.

I noticed that on Ubuntu 20.04, LibreOffice appearance was much better than what I had.

In fact I was missing some packages, since I upgraded from 19.10 to 20.04.

So I installed:
- libreoffice-style-elementary
- libreoffice-style-human
- libreoffice-style-galaxy
- libreoffice-style-breeze
- libreoffice-gtk3

And reopened my document to test the appearance (much better now, with GTK3 integration !).

And magic, my document can now be edited !

So, I think it was a bug with GTK after all.

Installing this libreoffice-gtk3 solved my issue.

Maybe you can make something with this information ?

Thank you for your time !
