            Bug ID: 135582
           Summary: Cannot remove password protection from .xls file in
                    7.0.0
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: thlytras at gmail.com

Description:
After normally opening a password-protected .xls file, I cannot remove the
protection by "Save as" and having the "Save with password" checkbox unticked.
When I open the file it is still password-protected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a password-protected .xls file (or .ods -- tried that as well)
2. "Save as" a new .xls or .ods file. The "Save with password" checkbox must be
unchecked.
3. Open the new file

Actual Results:
The .xls/.ods file is still password-protected, libreoffice calc still prompts
for a password.

Expected Results:
The .xls/.ods file should have been opened without asking for a password.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Behaviour happens with Libreoffice 7.0.0 in Debian testing. Previous version
6.4.5 was OK.
When clicking "Save as", the "Save with password" checkbox initially appears
unchecked. Checking and unchecking has no effect, same behaviour.
Tried "Save as" a different file format (.xlsx/.xls/.odt), no difference, new
file is still password-protected.
Checking the "Save with password" checkbox and specifying a different password
works OK, the new file can be opened with the updated password.
Although my problem was with Excel-created .xls files, I also tried with .ods
files created by LibreOffice. If they are saved with a password, then it
becomes impossible to remove that password.

Not sure whether this is related to bugs #134332 and #134796, as in my case the
file opens and saves normally, I just cannot remove the password.
