Hello Ken,

Thank you for reporting the bug.

Could you Please attach a sample of your locked document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug.

The lock file is temporary and it is normally removed, when you close the document. If you don't have the document open, you can delete the lock file. A crash might cause a lock file to stay in place.
