--- Comment #3 from Vincent Povirk <madewokherd at gmail.com> ---
The issue with separate prefixes is unfortunately a limitation of Wine:
CreateFile sharing semantics don't exist on Linux, and so we have to implement
them in wineserver, meaning they only work within the same prefix. Multiple
instances of Word in separate prefixes (including over network shares with
Windows, if range locking works on the network filesystem) should work
correctly, because of the change that caused this bug.

Please file a LibreOffice bug and CC me. It's debatable whether they're really
doing anything wrong (though I would argue that they have to be prepared to
interact with Windows programs over a network share, and what they're currently
doing could break that), so enhancement seems appropriate, but I don't think we
can fix it on our end.
