Please ...

-open a new spreadsheet

- enter anything into a cell

- protected the sheet from changes

- selecte the filled cell

- press BACKSPACE:
Nothing happens! Her you should show the message that protected cells cannot be 
changed, like when pressing ESC for example.

Backspace (Delete Contents) is a configured slot that's disabled for protected
cells. Generally in that case, the function isn't executed, so it can't show an
error message.

"like when pressing ESC for example"

->

"like when pressing DEL for example"




"Generally in that case, the function isn't executed"
This is a programming technical problem. But from the users point of view this
is a bug.
Excel shows such a message..

Bug was replicated using Mac OS X version 10.9 and Open Office 4.0.1 Build 9714.

The steps necessary to replicate the bug are as follow:
1)Launch OpenOffice
2)Create a Spreadsheet document
3)Type something in a cell
4)Choose Tools->Protect Document->Sheet...
5)Choose a password
6)Press Ok. Sheet should be password-protected.
7)You can now choose your cell and press BACKSPACE
8)No alert is given

Hope this helps,
