DO NOT REPLY [Bug 118648] New: FIND/REPLACE FAILS on unprotected cells if Sheet Protection is on

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118648

             Bug #: 118648
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: FIND/REPLACE FAILS on unprotected cells if Sheet
                    Protection is on
    Classification: Application
           Product: Spreadsheet
           Version: OOo 3.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: editing
        AssignedTo: spreadsheet@openoffice.org
        ReportedBy: groachfriends-openoffice@yahoo.com
                CC: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org


Openoffice 330m2 build9567

If a sheet is 'protected', (with a range of protected and unprotected), doing a
find/replace of a character or string (that ONLY appears in unprotected cells)
fails with 'Protected cells cannot be modified'.

Simple reproduction:-

1,  New Sheet
2,  enter the words "REPLACE"  in 2 or 3 random cells, "KEEP" in a few other
random cells.
3,  Cell format - cell protection, and UNPROTECT the cells containing the words
"REPLACE"
4,  Tools - Protect Document - Sheet - PROTECT the SHEET.
5,  CTRL F (Find/replace) - enter "REPLACE" in the 'find', and "DONE" in the
'replace with'
6,  Click 'Replace All'

Get error "Protected cells cannot be modified"  despite ONLY unprotected cells
only qualifying for change. (No protected cells qualify)

(if you unprotect the sheet, then the find/replace works ok)

Glad to hear it Marcus.  Hopefully taken more seriously if its platform wide. 
(How does this work then?   Will this be reviewed and tackled or is this just a
venting portal where Mr Frustrated spouts off without anyone caring?)

Sheet containing formated cells for demonstrating the problem

Sheet containing formated cells for demonstrating the problem.  Attempt to
replace the words "UNPROTECTED" without unprotecting the sheet.

I can see the same problem on Linux.
