We just hit an incredible bug… we are able to reproduce it on any macOS version we tried (from 10.3.x to 14.8.x, on both Intel and Apple Silicon): the current 9.2.1 version of ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors open files which the user has only read-only access to as if they were writable, let the user modify and save them without prompting any error, but obviously the files remain unchanged, making users loose their work! :S
The same OO version for Windows behaves correctly. We have not tested older OO versions yet.
Wow, I just tried these versions of Desktop Editors on macOS:
And all of them have this behavior too! It’s crazy that we didn’t notice this problem before! :S
Just to be clear, if you want to reproduce the issue: change the permissions on a file which you saved on a local macOS partition (HFS+ or APFS) in order to have read-only access to it, and then try to edit and save it.
