This bug has been following me around for years and years already. In a Calc sheet some cell will somehow become "Protected" and whenever you try to edit them you get a message "Protected cells cannot be modified". In the past, I got this message and it would still edit the cells. A nuisance but workable. But now, it actually protects the cells. Just for clarity, I never protect documents or sheets. This is pure Libreoffice magic. When I try to unprotect this also doesn't work. Tools, Protect Document, Document is not selected and Tools, Protect Sheet has a checkbox checked "Protect this sheet and the contents of protected cells" with empty user/pass. You cannot uncheck this as this disables the OK button. The options selected here are "select protected cells" and "select unprotected cells". Infuriating.
It actually doesn't seem to happen out of nothing but occurs after running a macro that exports content from the sheets. The problem is resolved by closing and reopening the file.
Hi, could you provide a spreadsheet with the macro to be able to reproduce and confirm the bug, please? Also, by default, all cells are protected, this protection is activated by protecting the sheet. May be you should disable protection of the cells (select the entire sheet, then Format > Cells > Protection > uncheck Protected) *before* running the macro. Sophie
Removed blocker ans set to normal until we get more info to reproduce the bug and because it seems the macro is protecting the sheet.
