Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49119
Read-only status half-on after save-as read-only document
Last modified: 2005-07-01 08:49:57 UTC
If you open a read-only document (like from an email attachment) and then save as another filename... ...the (read-only) designation in the title bar goes away ...and you can now edit the document easy enough ...but you can't save it!! ...and if you exit, it doesn't prompt you to save your changes. I just did this scenario, edited the document for 30 minutes, pushed CTRL-S a bunch of times (thinking I was saving it), and exited. I was none too happy to find out I just lost 30 minutes of editing.
Framework issue.
Hi ahlanderj, thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice.org... - I opened a read-only document on Solaris - I clicked on the button "Edit File" - I was aked if I wanted to work using a copy of the readonly document - I clicked [Yes] - the document was opened as "Untitled1" - I edited the document - I clicked the "save" button || I pressed [CTRL] + [S] - I was asked to enter a filename ("Save as" dialog) - I entered a filename (test) - The file was saved as test.odt ==> No problem here on Solaris... Maybe you could try our newest developer version available (680m100)? By the way: which OS/DesktopEnvironment do you use?
Thanks for the quick reponse. However, those are not the steps. 1. Open a read-only document. 2. Save As... [some other name] 3. Edit the document (notice you can edit fine) 4. Look at File Menu (notice save option is greyed out) 5. Close document (notice it doesn't prompt to save changes) I'm running OpenOffice 1.9.79 on WindowsXP SP2.
Meant to reopen the bug when I added my last comments.
Hi ahlanderj, I followed your steps (on Solaris since I don't have Windows...) ... 1. Open a read-only document. ==> works for me... 2. Save As... [some other name] ==> works for me... 3. Edit the document (notice you can edit fine) ==> works for me... 4. Look at File Menu (notice save option is greyed out) ==> works for me... save option is not greyed out... 5. Close document (notice it doesn't prompt to save changes) ==> works for me...
changed OS from "All" to "Winows XP"
not reproducible in a 680m113 build.
