Meanwhile, on Jaunty, when I open the document first time, it's read only.
The second time it opens read-write
But I can't save the document, as it throws an "General error". So that' s how daily work is

You navigate via nautilus to the file, try to open it, have to enter username password (meanwhile no longer required for me), naturaly try to edit the file, get the error, that the file is read-only, close, reopen the file, editing the file, naturaly try to save it, get the error, have to save it on desktop, after finishing (yes, I save my file regulary until I'm finished...) I have to point my nautilus to the desktop and move the file to the network location - now assume you do that 50 times a day. o(this is the point where I would regularly write in capital letters what PITA stands for....)

Folks, this is a serious bug - it can't be that I can't access a file over a mounted share like any other file - it's rubbish to argue that this is something like a "wish" to work as any other person on this planet does like clicking on the network based file, open it, modifying it and then safe it there without having to enter credentials every time, opening it twice and to save it on the desktop and then move it to it's original location.

If you don't understand the impact of this bug, then you don't use ubuntu to do daily work with documents in a more-then-just-having-files-on-the-local-harddisk basis.
