Description Yifan Jiang 2013-03-13 08:44:26 UTC 
Created attachment 76455 [details]
how the boxes looks like in sequence.

Platform: All
Build:    LO 4.0

Steps
-----

    1. $ touch ~/foo.odt; chmod 644 ~/foo.odt; sudo chown root:root ~/foo.odt

    2. Launch writer with an ordinary user

    3. Save the document as ~/foo.odt

    4. Confirm by clicking "Yes" button to overwrite the existed file

Problem
-------

    Of course this is not allowed since the foo.odt is owned by root.

    But there will be 3 consecutive error msg boxes popping out one by
    one after confirming to overwrite the existed odt. (snap shots
    attached)

    I guess it makes sense to alarm only once :)

    
    
Extra Info
----------

    * The only problem happens in SLE HA 11 SP3 chart. When trying similar
      steps in chart SLES11 sp3 and SLED11 sp3, it works all fine.

I am sorry please ignore this garbage info, just it was generated from my local bug report "template" :)

a correction of the original one.
Comment 3 Petr Mladek 2013-03-13 11:02:21 UTC 
it seems to be pretty old problem. I see it even with 3.4.6 build. I did not tested any earlier one.

Same behavior if I try to overwrite a read-only file of mine. Reproduced with LibreOffice 4.4.2.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64.

Nothing changed in LO 5.1.4.0.0+ and master, both build at home under Ubuntu

Comment 9 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2017-07-24 20:44:50 UTC 
Under Ubuntu 16.04 x86-64 and LO 5.4.1.0.0+ I get only one error message.

So closing as WorksForMe. Please, feel free to reopen if you disagree.
