Created attachment 124549 [details] Document with form protection The setting <w:documentProtection w:enforcement="1" w:edit="forms"/> is not imported from docx-files. If imported it would only allow editing within form controls. All other content would be protected. The same setting is imported from doc-files, see bug 81833.
Confirmed on LibreOffice 5.0.5.2 and master.
4.0.6.2 doesn't show the drop down field 4.3.7.2 has the same problem. I've seem quite some doc files with form protection that keep that functionality. In general: have seen some irregularities now and then.
