Created attachment 114485 [details] Proof of concept I cannot delete the last paragraph of the first page in order to get the table to the first page (thus have a single page document with both tables on the same page). If I press delete or backspace, it says "Readonly content cannot be changed." "No modifications will be accepted.".
Reproducible with LO 4.4.1.2, Win 8.1: Message "Write-protected content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted." is shown. Note: MSO gives an error message if I try to open the file. @Bug Reporter: Did you create this file in LO?
The file was created by a document generator, and I hand-edited document.xml to reduce size to a minimal working example and remove sensitive information. Only complete ranges (or whatever the "r" tag means) were removed and textual node contents were changed. The error and the message was the same in the original document, I haven't tried opening it with MSO.

Tools -> Options -> Writer -> Formatting Aids -> Protected Areas now has an 'Ignore protection' checkbox that makes read-only selections read-write, including the empty fieldmark from the bugdoc. Use it with care, e.g. if you just delete the start or the end of the fieldmark and not both (i.e. the whole paragraph), then bad things may happen. ;-)
@miklos: question, since I didn't read any about it in the release notes. Is the intention too that this enables editing of (password) protected sections :) ? Thanks, COr
