            Bug ID: 107443
           Summary: FILEOPEN: "Open" in "Document in Use" dialog for
                    non-default file format documents opens read-only
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

2 "Document in Use" windows for a odt and a docx file

The attached file shows 2 different "Document in Use" dialog windows.

The first one is displayed when opening a locked OpenDocument file and shows
the 3 buttons "Open Read-Only", "Open Copy" and "Cancel". That's
self-explanatory and works well.

The second one is displayed when opening a locked docx file and shows the 3
buttons "Open Read-Only", "Open" and "Cancel". As described in the window,
"Open" means that the file will be opened anyway regardless of whether the file
is in use/locked or not.
But clicking "Open" opens the file in the same way as "Open Read-Only":
Read-only and showing the yellow info bar.
If I click at "Edit document" in the yellow info bar, LibreOffice asks me in a
dialog window without a title "This document cannot be edited, possibly due to
missing access rights. Do you want to edit a copy of the document?".
The rights on the file are OK, it's only a problem of already-being-in-use in
another program.

-> This second question should have been handled in the "Document in Use"
dialog before.

There may be use cases where the 2 separate dialog windows are OK but that
should be handled in a better way so that a user hasn't to click through
several dialog windows if it's not necessary. 

Version: 5.3.2.2
Build ID: 6cd4f1ef626f15116896b1d8e1398b56da0d0ee1
CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.2; UI Render: default; Layout Engine:
new; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: CL

In version 5.1.4.2 (x64) there is only a single form of the "Document in Use"
window -- the second window at my screenshot isn't available -- which was the
better solution in my use case.
