--- Comment #8 from Jay Philips <philipz85@hotmail.com> ---

i know i'm weird, but i click on the Edit File button a lot
to make an editable document read-only and thereby prevent myself
from accidentally modifying a document that i never intend to modify,
and also to remove the spell-checker underlines that distract when
just reading a document.

No i dont think it is weird, as i had thought people might use it for better
reading, but then why not just use page/print preview as it has similar no edit
functionality.

also, it prevents nag dialogs when opening the same file
with multiple LO installations, but probably that is something
only developers/QA do...

Yes for QA i always get nagged by that issue as i'm opening the doc in 6
different versions and there isnt any file double-click option to open in read
mode. :)

people know it and use it when attachments from mail are opened as read only.
Are you available to help all those people Jay, often not handy in finding
new stuff in menus :)

I would love to hear the exact scenario that users are opening attachments in
read only, as when attachment come to me in thunderbird, i click open and it
opens, never remember having a read only option for such attachments. Well it
is not a new feature as its inherited from OOo and its not like i'm asking that
it be removed from the toolbar, just that its disabled by default similar to
'Find & Replace' and 'Zoom', so that space can be opened up for more used
functions like 'Insert Picture' or 'Insert Comment', IMHO. And for all those
who might be searching through the menu for the feature, Ubuntu's searchable
HUD has got your back. :)
