            Bug ID: 116032
           Summary: can't open files that are owned by a different user
                    regardless of filepermission
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.5.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: framework
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: documentfoundation at fabian-nitsche.de

Description:
For some reason, LibreOffice seems to be unable to open files that are owned by
a different user, regardless of the file permissions (tested with calc, writer
and impress).

I came across
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/137872/libreoffice-wont-open-files-i-dont-own/
who seems to have the same problem but no solution...

Steps to Reproduce:
 1. create a new LibreOffice file 
 2. write some test text and save it somewhere you are sure of having all the
required permissions (e.g. your home folder)
 3. open it again and confirm it still works, close again
 4. change file permissions to 777 and repeat 3, still ok
 5. change owner to someone else...
 6. try opening it again and BOOM nothing, LibreOffice just vanishes without
any hint of what went wrong
 7. open LibreOffice (e.g. writer) directly and try to open the file, you get
an untitled empty document
 8. try to drag and drop the file into the open LibreOffice writer and now, for
the first time, you get an actual error message hinting at what is wrong
(instead of all this silent crashing): "The object cannot be accessed  due to
insufficient user rights"

Actual Results:  
LibreOffice is silently crashing/opening empty untitled documents instead of
the file I try to open.

Expected Results:
LibreOffice should open the file and let me edit and save it if I have read,
write and execution rights on it regardless of who owns it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
