Do you have auto-save on? If not.... go to tools, collaboration... and look at the last 2 check boxes...

I have the "Enable Multi-User Environment" unchecked.  This makes the 2 lower options non-active (greyed out).

Try Tools > Options > System Options > External Refences and check Don't prompt to save read-only referenced documents (discard changes)

If it's already 'checked', try unchecking it.

RE: Opening "View Only" than asked to "SAVE"?????

Could it be related to the new version and that not all of the opened files have been saved in the new format yet?

CBL is correct! This is a known bug in SW07. CBL has provided the correct answer that should fix the problem.
