I cannot edit exe-file anymore. Everything used to work just fine a week ago, but now when I open the file, the front page isn't suddenly looking an exec-page anymore. Also option "edit" is light grey and I cannot click it. 

I have been invited to edit the file and my permissions have been checked. In my opinion nothing has changed during the week. Can anyone help me?

        I followed the same steps as before to see if the problem was resolved, but I had the same behavior. So the issue is still here for me.
