<pre>Description:
LibreOffice has sheet protection and edit protection features. These features
prevent the user from editing files that have these features enabled.
While these features are useful in some situations, it impedes on the user's
right to use their computer as they wish.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open LibreOffice Calc
2.Select a sheet and protect it with Tools > Protect sheet
3.Try to edit it
Actual Results:
I can not edit the sheet, and I can not disable this protection without the
password.
Expected Results:
LibreOffice would allow me to, in some way, bypass this restriction. There can
be many ways to do this, for example
- A special macro/menu option that disables it without needing the password
- A special option (potentially one that requires administrative rights to
change), that would make LibreOffice ignore these restrictions.
The latter would allow to still have these restrictions working when it makes
sense, for example a school environment.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
