In response to Ezinne saying "Not reproducible", I add that document in question has .docx extension, if perhaps that makes a difference. Also, above I added the version number I am using.
Can't reproduce either in: Version: 7.5.7.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47eb0cf7efbacdee9b19ae25d6752381ede23126 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Nor on macOS: Version: 7.5.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 36ccfdc35048b057fd9854c757a8b67ec53977b6 CPU threads: 2; OS: Mac OS X 13.2.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Was the password set originally with MS Office or with LibreOffice? Can you maybe attach an example file? Please also paste here the full information copied from Help > About LibreOffice.
[I wanted to send a reply to your email inquiry by email with a screenshot attached, but that email was rejected. So I paste my email here, albeit without the graphic since this field does not accept graphics. I hope it is helpful to you anyway. Thanks for your efforts.] Yes, the password was originally set in Microsoft Office, but the file has since been Saved As… in Libre Office, which allows for the restoration of the password by newly adding it again. So it actually has been set in LibreOffice. I cannot send the file in question since it is password protected because it contains confidential information. I see you tested in MacOS 13.2.1. I run MacOS 13.6. To reliably reproduce the bug, I close the changed document by clicking on the red Close button (top left corner of document window), which leads to the dialog box shown below. Clicking “Save” in that dialog closes the document, with the change saved. Reopening that file does not require the password. PastedGraphic-2.tiff You ask for pasting "the full information copied from Help > About LibreOffice." That is not how it appears on my Mac. The Help menu has no About LibreOffice. About LibreOffice can be found under the LibreOffice menu as the very first entry. It has a Version Information button, which offers this information: Version: 7.5.7.1 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47eb0cf7efbacdee9b19ae25d6752381ede23126 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 13.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Thanks again for your interest and attention. —Henning On Oct 22, 2023, at 16:42, bugzilla-daemon@bugs.documentfoundation.org wrote: Stéphane Guillou (stragu) changed bug 157658 What Removed Added Ever confirmed 1 CC stephane.guillou@libreoffice.org Status UNCONFIRMED NEEDINFO Summary saving a change to password protected document makes document unprotected saving a change to password protected DOCX makes document unprotected Comment # 3 on bug 157658 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) Can't reproduce either in: Version: 7.5.7.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 47eb0cf7efbacdee9b19ae25d6752381ede23126 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Nor on macOS: Version: 7.5.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 36ccfdc35048b057fd9854c757a8b67ec53977b6 CPU threads: 2; OS: Mac OS X 13.2.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Was the password set originally with MS Office or with LibreOffice?

I tested again, still can't reproduce with: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c60a9db1f2a8e2a088c6b89bcdff4901b28f2864 CPU threads: 2; OS: macOS 13.2.1; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded * Can you still reproduce in a more recent version, e.g. 7.6.3? Wondering if the resolution of bug 142147 helps. * Can you try creating a sample document from scratch in which you can reproduce the issue, that you could share (along with its password)?
I cannot reproduce the bug with a fresh document created from scratch. It continues to bedevil me with the document with which I originally encountered it, however. Now running 7.5.9.2. I don't want to try the less tested (newer) version. I am also not computer proficient enough to understand the resolution of bug 142147. I understand that I am not providing enough information for you to help any further. I guess I just have to live with it and remember to always Save As… and manually invoke Save with Password everytime anew. Thank you for your efforts.
