            Bug ID: 121316
           Summary: local documents cannot be opened while vpn'ed into
                    another network which restricts internet access
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.2 all versions
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

          Reporter: wiatzkad at gmail.com

Description:
For security and regulatory reasons my work's vpn restricts apps which are
running locally on the desktop or laptop which is vpn'ed into the network.
(While vpn'ed in we are using terminal servers or desktops we remote desktop
to. Those machines are allowed to access the internet while vpn'ed in.) When I
attempt to access a Libreoffice document on my local drive the app (such as
Writer or Calc) starts but remains greyed out and unusable.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to a vpn which restricts internet access to applications which are
running locally
2. open a Writer document or a Calc spreadsheet


Actual Results:
application starts but remains greyed out and unusable

Expected Results:
application starts and is usable


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
application starts and is usable
