            Bug ID: 128230
           Summary: Disabling of password protected change tracking is
                    possible
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.1.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: bibisectRequest, regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Created attachment 155117
  --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=155117&action=edit
Screenshot of the confirmation dialog in Writer. No password is asked after
this.

In a document (attachment #155115 from bug #128229) with password protected
changes it is possible to turn off change tracking without entering the
password in File – Properties – Security – Record Changes.
Using Edit – Track Changes – Record in the same document asks for the change
tracking password.


Steps to reproduce:
1.      Open attached document.
2.      Choose Edit – Track Changes – Record. A password prompt appears.
3.      Close the password prompt and go to File – Properties – Security
4.      Uncheck the Record changes box. A warning appears: 
“This action will exit the change recording mode.
Any information about changes will be lost.

Exit change recording mode?”
5.      Select Yes in this window.

Actual results:
Change tracking is turned off without asking for password. The Unprotect button
next to Record changes becomes Protect so one can set a new change tracking
password.
Turning on Record changes, then off again asks for (and accepts) the original
change tracking password.

Expected results:
Record changes checkbox should ask for the change tracking password for the
first time, like the Edit – Track Changes – Record command does.

Also the confirmation prompt might be entirely unnecessary, since it is
displayed on the Security tab, and Edit – Track Changes – Record does not
bother the user with a similar warning.
Further, it is quite incorrect: “Any information about changes will be lost.” -
not true, existing tracked changes will be kept, only new ones will not be
recorded,
