3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/482548/+attachment/1894449/+files/example4.odp && stat example4.odp && chmod -wxXst example4.odp && stat example4.odp && loimpress -nologo example4.odp

copy a hyperlink from a webbrowser then:

with a 2 button laptop touchpad, click the left and right buttons simultaneously into a cell or with a three button external mouse click the middle button and nothing pastes because the file is read only.

-OR-

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/482548/+attachment/1894449/+files/example4.odp && loimpress -nologo example4.odp

File -> Properties -> Security tab -> check Open File read-only -> OK button -> close file -> re-open and with a 2 button laptop touchpad, click the left and right buttons simultaneously into a cell or with a three button external mouse click the middle button and nothing pastes because the file is read only.

4) What happens instead is it pastes into the file. It cannot be undone via Ctrl+Z. The file cannot be saved over to the original file name with the pasted in changes, however, the file can be saved with the changes into a file with another name which will not be read-only.

[This is an automatic notification.]

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you test if it still occurs on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through normal support channels, please see:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/support

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 482548

Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report.

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference bug 482548 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug openoffice.org

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released' or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

penalvch (penalvch) wrote :

michwill, I have tried copying and pasting information from Firefox into example4.odp via a 2 button laptop touchpad with no success. This seems to be caused by the simple act of middle clicking your 3 button mouse. Since you originally reported this issue in i386 environment, then reproduced in 64-bit, seems not dependent on this. Marking to New for both OOo & LO for someone else with a middle mouse button to confirm.

BTW, what is the manufacturer & model of your mouse?

I confirm here on a up-to-date Natty that it is possible to insert text in a read-only Impress file.

1) open read-only Impress file
2) select text in an other application (e.g. terminal)
3) middle click in Impress (as many times as I want) → text is inserted (several times) but it is not possible to remove it (bc. read-only ;-) )

instead of a middle click with my external mouse, it works also perfectly clicking simultaneously with the left & right buttons of my built-in laptop touch-pad, thus simulating a middle click...

However, if I select a text let's say in Firefox, I can insert it with a middle click (or simultaneous right and left click) anywhere in the document but not remove it anymore.
The same thing happens, if I open a read-and-writable file, but set its status to "uneditable" by clicking on the icon "Edit File" in the toolbar.

I believe, this behavior has to do with the methode of Linux to paste marked text with the middle mousebutton and LibO does not recognize that? Is this a different codebase?

I can confirm this behavior on Ubuntu 13.04 Beta with Libre Office V4.0.2.2.

Reproduction:
1. Open impress
2. Save the empty file everywhere you want
3. Turn off "Edit File" button.

Normally you cannot edit the impress file anymore.

4. Get a text from everywhere (texteditor, internet) and copy it to the clipboard
5. Switch back to impress and press the middle mousebutton.

You can see you insert textboxes into the impress file and impress does not realise it as a change, you can switch "Edit File" on and off without asking for saving the document after a change!

In WindowsXP you cannot paste data into impress if "Edit File" is turned off, because paste is greyed out and you cannot click onto it. In Ubuntu you can, paste is not greyed out!

I have test it with LO Draw, and the behavior is the same in Ubuntu!

This is a bit annoying, because you can modify documents while a presentation accidently!

Can someone test this on other platforms? (Mac, Win7/8, other distros/GUIs)

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   *Update the version field
   *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3
. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword

Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for your help!

Still reproducible with LibreOffice 4.4.4.0.0+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64.
BUT, not reproducible in LibreOffice 5.0.0.0.alpha1+ built at home under Ubuntu 14.10 x86-64.

So closing as WorksForMe. Please, feel free to reopen if you disagree.

Best regards. JBF
