Description Elaine 2023-10-27 18:49:05 UTC 
October 27, 2023 - I have been getting the following message when I open some files in Libre Office Writer and in Libre Office Calc - these are files that I use fairly often, so not sure why I now need permission to open the files:
     "You don't have permission to open this file."
     "Contact the file owner or an administrator to obtain permission."

I created the files and this has only been happening since the latest Libre Office update, which shows as 7.6 when I check the list of programs.

Please could this be fixed or something since I am finding it quite annoying.

Yes, most likely AVG/Avast blocking LibreOffice.
Let's consolidate into bug 157497, and Elaine, please confirm that you are indeed using Avast/AVG (and that deactivating it resolves the issue).
