When opening a document from R/O location, the message "this file was locked by the user <unknown>" appears. The document should be opened read-only without any prompts.
I do not reproduce with Version 4.0.0.0.beta2+ (Build ID: d3b7a2bfe2a95153134f340c5a13a467de95a0d) under Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64. The files are opened in read-only mode without any message, as expected. @reporter: please, could you try again with a recent build? What is your OS? Best regards. JBF
Same behaviour under Windows with recent master.
(In reply to comment #2) > Same behaviour under Windows with recent master. And with LO 4.0 beta2 ? http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/ If the problem is for the master only then version should be changed for "LO 4.1.0.0.alpha0+Master" Best regards. JBF
There was no hint of any 4.x version when this bug was reported, so it is present in each version since then. Please stop this sophistics.
I do not reproduce with Version 4.0.0.0.beta2 (Build ID: 4104d660979c57e1160b5135634f732918460a0) under Windows Vista Tested on odt and ods files, opened in read-only mode without any message, as expected.
Hi Urmas, Did you checked if there is a remaining lock-file for your document? This kind of hidden file has a name like .~lock.filename.odt# where filename.odt is the locked file. It prevents the user to open the same file twice. It is removed on closing the file, but maybe not if LO crashed. I asked on fr QA list to try to reproduce the problem with LO 4.0.0.beta2 under MS-Windows. I got 3 answers (XP, Vista and W7) and no one succeeded to reproduce the behavior you described. Best regards. JBF
As expected, confirmed with master under Vista. With both ODF and DOC files. There are no any lockfiles, and there cannot be any, because of READ-ONLY location. There are clear instructions how to reproduce it, so that 'cannot reproduce' trolling should stop.
*** Bug 61504 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Some additional information: -the read-only location is read-only for the user or the group to which user belongs) trying to open the document, the location can be without limitations for other users/groups; -this behaviour dates from before v4, I cannot go further back than v3.5 without having to install and it occurs in v3.5 as well.

I see this same message when I try to open a read-only file. I suspect that "R/O location" in the bug description means the contaning directory, but I am guessing that my situation is close enough to fit into the same bug report. Correction welcome. My LibreOffice is a dbgutil build: Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: ce685f64f38551e7984155783c9c7660d986abf6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-CA (en_CA.utf8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded built and running on debian-buster. I am setting O/S All, and I am flagging the previous request for restest, 2017-03-06, obsolete.

The same on 25.8 If I open a read only file, with a version of LibreOffice, and in the same time with another version, I get the message: document x is locked for editing by yourself. But it is a read only file, I am not editing it.
