Description:
In a shared folder User A has read access and User B has write access on file system level(NTFS).
User A opens an xlsx-file with Calc in Read Mode.
User B opens the same file with Excel to modify it.
As long as User B has opened the file User A is not able to save it.





Steps to Reproduce:
1. User A opens an xlsx-file with Calc in Read Mode.
2. User B opens the same file with Excel to modify it.
3. User B tries to change and save the file but gets an error message saying that an other user has opened the file.

Actual Results:
A file that is opened in Read Mode is not changeable from an other user.

Comment 1 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-03-09 23:14:41 UTC
I could not reproduce, using an XLSX file, opening it in read-only on Ubuntu 20.04 with:

libreoffice6.4 --view "path/to/file.xlsx"

... and opening and editing the same file on Windows 10 with LO 6.4 or MS Excel.

Marco, if you still have a setup that allows it, could you please test again with a version that is currently supported? (7.4 or 7.5)
Thank you!
