Description Bernard Moreton 2015-02-26 15:45:55 UTC 
I use read-only mode a lot, and the infobar(This document is open in read-only mode) prevents any navigation on the document until either the X  or the edit-now button is clicked.  The latter stops the whole point of opening in read-only mode, and the  infobar introduces an unwanted extra step in the workflow.  Is there any way (prefably in the command-line options) to switch this infobar off?
Comment 1 Adolfo Jayme Barrientos 2015-02-27 04:53:11 UTC 
Do you mean the keyboard focus is not in the document when the infobar is open? Because I can’t reproduce that issue.

@Bernard -

I am marking this as NEEDINFO. Please provide very clear reproducible steps (assume you are explaining it to someone who never uses read-only mode) on what you are seeing as well as your operating system. Once you do this, set the bug to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks

On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, calling
soffice --view demo.rtf
opens the (2-page) document in read-only mode.

PageDown and down arrow are not effective until EITHER the infobar is closed OR the cursor is clicked on the document to get focus.

The primary invitation on the infobar to "Edit document" subverts the security of opening in read-only mode; and the information on the infobar duplicates what is already shown in the LibreOffice window header.

Confirmed.

The problem no longer appears in 5.3.0.3, so is probably fixed?  Thank you all!

By the gods, you are right!
