I can't edit file with one name on my computer.
When I try to save new file with name /home/lissin/Рабочий стол/Без имени 1.odt I got error can't save file. When I rename any other document to that name and try to open I got popup can't edit file, create new form it or open readonly. If I open it readonly I can edit it after pressing edit button, but after that can't save it with same error. Right after pressing button I got warning that file is readonly.
When I go to File>Properties>Security before pressing edit button both checkboxes are gray, after pressing - both are unchecked.
Permissions to that file are -rw-r--r--, it owned by current user and no selinux/apparmor installed, any other application can create/modify/delete file with such name.

Files with other name, for example /home/lissin/Рабочий стол/Без имени 2.odt are opened and edited without any issue.

I'm using libreoffice 4.1.0 on debian 7.2

What should I do to allow libreoffice modify file with that name?

I would check if there is a lock file for the file you are trying to save. Enable showing hidden files in your file browser or do a ls -la in a terminal window and look for a file like ".~lock.Без имени 1.odt#". If one is present, make sure you close all LibreOffice windows and delete it with your file browser or rm.

These files can get left behind if LibreOffice isn't closed properly.
