            Bug ID: 127852
           Summary: UI: locked odt document disables menus from keyboard
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.7.1 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Nick_Levinson at yahoo.com

Description:
In Writer, if I open a locked .odt document and then want to Save As for a
fresh copy for editing, alt-f does not open the File menu. I have to mouse to
the File menu. I should be able to Save As with alt-f alt-a and no mousing.

This is a usability issue for speedy touch-typists who learn faster keystroke
commands and who will see this as a computer defect.

I have not checked Calc etc. or whether the original file being write-protected
makes a difference.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Outside of LO, such as in a file manager, lock an .odt document. It can be a
blank.

2. In the file manager, open the document.

3. Go to Writer.

4. Type alt-f, so you can open the File menu, to do a Save As, to make a fresh
copy for editing.

Actual Results:
It fails. I have to mouse to the File menu.

Expected Results:
I should be able to Save As with alt-f alt-a and no mousing.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
This is a usability issue for speedy touch-typists who learn faster keystroke
commands and who will see this as a computer defect.

The problem does not occur if I open the file from within Writer using  the
Open command or by selecting its image on Writer's desktop (or whatever you
call the display of previously-opened docs).

I have not checked Calc etc.

Apparently, OpenGL is enabled. Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View does not
