            Bug ID: 139798
           Summary: Writer document password protection not working after
                    activation & on prior ODF files in 7.0.4 and 7.0.4.2
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
FILEOPEN  **SECURITY ISSUE** password protection not working. Writer documents
saved with 7.0.4.0 up to 7.0.4.2 It looks as if password protection is not
prompting for the password even though the file was saved with password
protection. User can open these files and should not be able to without input
of working password. file/properties/security shows no password assigned, even
though it was assigned when saved. Assigned password again, saved file, exited.
Reopened file, didn't prompt for password (again) but shows file is protected
under file/properties/security. Found this issue was still a problem on
additional files saved on prior days and multiple files saved today. Exit
program, rebooted, still no protection on writer files when opening them. Files
made prior to 7.0.4 seem to all keep their protection and prompt for a
password, even when using 7.0.4.0 and 7.0.4.2 to open them. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open password protected writer document, saved as Odt (did not try with
other file formats yet)
2. no prompt for password
3. look at file/properties/security and there is no password protection
4. Add password protection (again)
5. save file
6. open saved file, and it does not prompt for a password
7. look in file/properties/security and it shows "Protected"

Actual Results:
Save a password protected file or go to one that has already been saved with
7.0.4.0
1. Open password protected writer document, saved as Odt (did not try with
other file formats yet)
2. no prompt for password
3. look at file/properties/security and there is no password protection
4. Add password protection (again)
5. save file
6. open saved file, and it does not prompt for a password
7. look in file/properties/security and it shows "Protected"

Expected Results:
File should be password protected and user should not be able to open the file
without inputting the correct password


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
SECURITY ISSUE and it didn't fix it to update to 7.0.4.2
