Description Helge Kreutzmann 2012-02-20 11:47:25 UTC 
Created attachment 57350 [details]
Two compressed doc files which cannot be edited in LibreOffice (but in OOo).

Problem description: 
I have trouble with certain documents (forms) which I used for ages with OOo (meanwhile saved as odt). Since more problems occured when Debian switched from Ooo to LibreOffice, I decided to pull the original doc files and start over with a clean (.doc) file and then subsequently report the issues I found.

However, I cannot work with the original files at all anymore. Whenever I try to fill in fields I am asked to provide a password. In OOo 3.2.1 (OOO 320m18 (Build 9502) at work (also under Debian/Linux) the files open as expected and I can enter values, no password required. If wanted, I can test (at work) with different Word versions also. The files are attached.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open either one of the attached files
2. Select a field

Current behavior:
In LibreOffice, no box pops up, but on right click "Bearbeiten" (Edit) instead a box pops up asking for a password (where the file does not have one).So the forms cannot be filled in.

Expected behavior:
In Ooo, a box pops up where you can enter content, (As this is a form, this is the inteded behaviour).

Platform (if different from the browser): 

Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 Iceweasel/9.0.1 Debian GNU/Linux current Testing

I did not report this bug to the Debian BTS (yet).

Just tested. Still valid for LO latest master 2013-09-16 on OS X 10.8.5.

Checkboxes can be activated but no text can be entered.
