I have been using the "save as new name" for many years.  I have done 
this with LO, OOo, and earlier word processors, since the early days of 
Windows PCs.

As for a "bug", I do not know what you are stating the bug would be.  It 
is not clear to me this morning.  If you are saying that trying to edit 
a read-only file, or use the standard "Save" option freezes or locks up 
LO, then this might be a bug.

To be honest, I tend to open documents that are attached to an email, 
directly into LO.  Unless I save the file before opening it, I cannot 
edit it.  That includes doing the "Save As" option.  I tend to open 
these documents, from trusted people I deal with on a weekly or monthly 
basis, before I save them outside of the "temporary folders" the system 
stores them in.  That way, I can decide if I want to save them or not.  
A good third of these documents I do not need, so they are not saved.

So, the use of "Save As" with read-only files, created as read-only in 
various ways and reasons, is something that is a part of my office suite 
activities since the early 90's.
