This template is for bug report only: - **Lettera Version** : 1.0.0 (4458) - **macOS Version** : 27.0.1 (26A434) - **What were you doing** : Tried to edit locked file. - **What feature did you use** : Clicked on Lock icon in Lettera’s rename file pane at top of editor. - **What happened** : - After editing file and moving to another file in side bar, **Lettera froze completely** and had to be force quited. - But if trying to save or close file (Cmd+S, Cmd+W or Cmd+Q), we get two different warnings that file is locked: (“Save anyway” removed the lock and saved the file.) ![Screenshot 2026-10-03 at 09.12.27](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/bear/original/2X/0/08896d219e89ae82db5ec4c4e85884de0a1c6de8.png) ![Screenshot 2026-10-03 at 09.10.02](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/bear/original/2X/f/fafe638401ca306568dd7cfa962942e31170fa45.png) - **What did you expect to happen** : - Expect Lettera editor to switch to **read only state** when opening locked files or when locking them with editor open – just like Bear does when you set Read Only on notes. - Or at least not freeze, but get the same autosave warning when switching to another file. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/bear/original/2X/5/5529c111142a0c8bf83d1ec07818e21a5e2c6ce5.jpeg)
