--- Comment #2 from Jean-Baptiste Faure <jbfaure at libreoffice.org> ---
Please, describe a step by step scenario showing that there is a problem under
Linux.

My test:
1/ be an existing file foo.odt in the folder A
2/ create a simlink of foo.odt in the folder B
3/ open A/foo.odt
4/ open B/foo.odt
5/ make a change in A/foo.odt
6/ make another change in B/foo.odt
7/ go back to A/foo.odt, then ctrl+S => A/foo.odt is saved
8/ go back to B/foo.odt, then ctrl+S => Warning message that this file as been
modified since it has been open in LibreOffice for edition. Saving this version
will overwrite previous changes made by others.

For me that is the expected behavior.

Status set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested
informations are provided.

Best regards. JBF
