1.Connected to the Samba share manually and no problem mounting etc. Opened the share directly from LibreOffice Writer and the file came up as "read only" but this time no dialog box.
2. Proceeded onto your second suggestion - and got the same result - file opened in "read only " mode and no dialog box. Of interest is that if the share is mounted by PCManFM-Qt or thunar the file opens with the dialog box as in the original report.

Ran some tests again today.
