Bug#393724: openoffice.org: Opens OO.o Writer files read-only
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 2.0.4-1
Severity: important
Some files created with OpenOffice.org Writer 2.0.4~rc versions are
opened read-only by OpenOffice.org 2.0.4. Sorry, I don't know the exact
rc version, but I do have a sample file I can share, if needed.
I have tried opening them with Abiword and saving them to a different
location, but OO.o still opens them read-only. I have confirmed that
they are not open anywhere, and I have even wiped out the
~/.openoffice.org2 dir - all to no avail. It is pretty frustrating to
need to open a file and edit it, only to have to copy/paste it to a new
file before being able to edit it. Especially when it is a file created
by a different version of the same exact software.
