Description:
After I upgraded to 5.4. my old xls files which were working fine until LO 5.3
is staying in "Read Only" mode even if the password (File Sharing Password) is
entered. The case is same in both Windows and Linux.

Note: The file has no 'File Encryption Password', but have 'File Sharing
Password'.

2.click 'save'
3. select 'save with password'
4. select format "xls'
5.leave 'File Encryption Password' blank
6. click 'options'
7. enter 'File Sharing Password'(password to allow editing).
8. click 'ok' 
9. close file, close LO 
10.open the created file in LO 5.4
11.a blue banner "This document is open in read-only mode" appear with a button
named "Edit Document".
click "Edit Document" and enter the password
12. the blue banner disappears but the xls file stay in "Read Only" mode

Actual Results:  
Even though the 'File Sharing Password'(password to allow editing) is entered,
the xls files stay in "Read Only" mode



Expected Results:
Until  LO 5.3 when the the'File Sharing Password'(password to allow editing) is
entered, the xls files change from "Read Only" mode to "edit mode"
