it seems the issue is happening since author Oliver Specht <oliver.specht@cib.de> 2016-04-25 13:25:39 +0200 committer Oliver Specht <oliver.specht@cib.de> 2016-04-29 06:12:55 +0000 commit 523a3d18e98cd51aa8bf76cf76314a22ddc2b2cf (patch) tree 287df68a893b7f657cec9bee1147906a5c2b880b parent 16777b6bb0267c2b0602f1007a1e1fecac81329b (diff) tdf#99434: import/export documentProtection-forms from .docx incl. test Bisected with bibisect-linux-64-5.2 not sure it's a regression though @Justin, I thought you might be interested in this issue
Created attachment 170207 [details] bug libreofffice read-only_noPW.docx: the protection password has been removed. Well, this certainly is NOT a regression. Before Oliver's patch, every part of the document was editable - not just certain form-text areas. My guess is that we don't support importing the w:sdt text field used in this form. SDT support is fairly new - starting in 2013-ish for dates only. I didn't find a bug report that mentions this topic, although I imagine a duplicate exists somewhere.
To "avoid" bug i have copy the file to a new blank document, and now it can be edit.
Created attachment 177033 [details] The example document in current master Much better in Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 82ceab070de76d447505a598d07d5a9a1c48d80d CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Now the content controls are imported as fields and can be edited. One hiccup still: there is a checkbox form control after 9. Documentos that can not be checked in Writer, unlike in Word. That is bug 99571.
This was essentially the same problem as bug 130565. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 130565 ***
