Yes. I can confirm that after closing the document the device is locked by
swriter.exe and soffice.exe (after opening an odt file). However opening and
closing a document from HDD does not solve the problem. The only solution is
to close LO.

However this is not a LibreOffice bug. The same happens with any other
program (e.g. MS Word) if the user opens a document from the thumb drive
(i.e. the program associated with a given document type is launched by
executing a document on a removable media).
If the user opens the program (LO Writer, MS Word) and then uses the open
dialog to open the document, when the document is closed the thumb drive is
unlocked.

HTH,
Pedro
