Description:
One spreadsheet I need to open is used by a co-worker. He needs to be able to edit the file so he needs full access. I only need to find information in it and I never want to make any permanent changes. Because of this, I want to open the file in read-only mode so I won't accidentally save any changes and also so I won't lock the file that my co-worker needs to edit.

I was hoping Calc would handle file locks in the same way Excel does - where a file opened as read-only is not locked.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a shortcut to a spreadsheet file, and in that shortcut specify that it be opened as read-only. Shortcut target: [Libre Calc path] /r [target spreadsheet path]
2. Use shortcut to open document.
3. Have another user try to open the same document normally. They will be notified the file is locked by another user.

Actual Results:
Despite being opened as read-only, Calc will lock the file so other users cannot edit.

Expected Results:
Since the document is being opened in away that it cannot be altered, there is no reason for Calc to lock access to the file.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Please change Calc so it does not lock a file that it is unable to alter in the first place.

Thank you!
