I was thinking more about issues that related specifically to the VCL but that one is very interesting. I would suggest triaging that upstream, especially if you get the log entries with other distros. What is going on here is that the AppArmor profile is in complain mode, which is to say it’s logging a violation of policy, but it’s not denying it (which is why it says apparmor="ALLOWED". That should be a non-blocker. You can confirm this with sudo aa-disable /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libreoffice.program.soffice.bin and then trying again (turn it back on with sudo aa-complain).
Did some testing on this Samba issue today with the latest builds Hirsute 21.04 for Lubuntu and Xubuntu.
Regarding Lubuntu if I ran aa-disable … (as in above post ) the file did not open at all. Turning it back on and file opened with the same results. I have added further comments to the bug report and of particular interest is that this is not a Lubuntu issue.
Opening Samba share files in Xubuntu gives the same results i.e you can only open a copy and are unable to edit the original file.
All other apps i.e, featherpad,mousepad etc, can open Samba files in edit mode.
As far as I can determine this has something to do with how LibreOffice assigns permissions.
It would be helpful if someone else could test this and confirm the bug.

Further testing on Ubuntu and Ubuntu Mate with the 13.12.2020 builds - surprised to see that LibreOffice could open the Samba files in edit mode. Looks like I need to dig deeper.
