<pre>Please clarify your Dropbox usage. Is this against a cached file, locally
created on this system, or was file created elewhere and sync'd to the Dropbox
folder on this system, or are you using a Dropbox Pro 'cloud' instance of the
file?
Do you get correct opening (no need to save as a copy) if you change the
filemanager over to LibreOffice's internal? Done with Tools -> Options ->
Advanced 'Open Expert Configuration' button, then search in the dialog for
"UseSystemFileDialog" and Edit to set it 'false' and 'OK' out.
We do not implement the Dropbox API, and Dropbox is not CMIS compliant so
changing the file manager might make no difference--if no difference, change it
back setting "UseSystemFileDialog" 'true'
The issue then is likely to be the lock file mechanism--LibreOffice's or
Dropboxe's.
We can't do anything about Dropbox's, but you can disable LibreOffice's, again
from expert configuration, searching for and setting these stanzas false:
'UseLocking'
'UseDocumentSystemFileLocking'
'UseDocumentOOLockFile'
For my local Dropbox cache/sync, setting 'UseLocking' false does not generate
the lockfile, and would not be pushed up to Dropbox cloud--but I didn't check
yet to see if there is a Dropbox generated lock present in a sync'd folder on
another system.
Have not dug out the code, but I think the UseDocumentSystemFileLocking is a
CMIS signal, so maybe not applicable.</pre>
