Problem description: When trying to edit a write protected section, the error message reads "Readonly content cannot be changed.". This is confusing as it gives no glue how to fix the problem. The instinct is to click the "Edit file" -button. The error message should be reformulated so the user knows to edit the section properties. Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert a write protected section (Insert -> section, check “Protect” -check box and click “Insert” -button) 2. Place cursor inside the section and try to type something Current behavior: Error message is shown: Readonly content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted Expected behavior: Error message should read: Write protected sections cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted. Or something along these lines. Operating System: All Version: unspecified
This bug seems also been reported to Apache OOO bug tracker: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=27678
Verified: Ubuntu 14.04 x64 LibreOffice 4.4 master built a few days ago Sure seems fine. Marking as NEW Enhancement Lowest NeedDevEval (really easy to fix, code pointer I'm sure would be easy to find)
Nevermind I just committed a patch - no need for code pointers

In that patch, “Write protected” is a compound adjective. Shouldn’t it be written hyphenated, for clarity?: “Write-protected sections cannot be changed.”
I suppose so - I'll set this to reopened until I submit a follow up patch.
This has been pushed and should be in 4.4.

Reopening - I think this change should be reverted as the dialog and the "corrected" message are not specific for sections. Try e.g. this: 1. In a new text document, choose Insert - Frame. 2. On the Options tab, check the Content box in the Protect area and press OK. 3. Try to write inside the new frame. You will see the dialog with the "Write-protected sections cannot be changed" which is clearly wrong here since not section, but frame is involved.

Looks like patches were pushed after bug was last set to REOPENED status. Are we all done here? Status -> NEEDINFO
(In reply to Robinson Tryon (qubit) from comment #13) > Looks like patches were pushed after bug was last set to REOPENED status. > Are we all done here? No. My patch only restored the previous state, user is still provided by message about write-protected content (the content is not specified - like section, frame or whatever). This cannot be fixed by a simple change of the message text.
