Description: When LibreOffice saves documents, it changes their file permissions. This behaviour: a) messes with the workflow in my household, where we share one big disk, have unix users for each member, and a 'family' unix group, which allows us to e.g. edit all sorts of files owned by other members in the 'family' group b) goes against what I perceive as standard practice (that personal files' ownership and permissions should only be changed when the users request such a change), though I'm not sure if there's any standardization document that supports this claim Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create any document with default unix permissions of anyuser:anyuser 2. Change the group of the document, e.g with `chown anyuser:anygroup document` 3. Save the document (tested it with both Writer and Calc) Actual Results: Ownership is now `anyuser:anyuser` Expected Results: Ownership should still be `anyuser:anygroup` Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Fixing this bug, will most likely fix https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36827 as well
Isn't a special problem of Base, the database. So I switched component to LibreOffice
This could come from the commit mentioned in bug 125515, I can't check now, but if anyone confirms this, check with version 6.0 or earlier as well.
I tested this with LO 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (4a899a5f8a72ea29a6919316afe3627de9f33e95) & 6.4.6.2 / Ubuntu, but can't reproduce. Saving a file again keeps its group as previously set.
