OneDrive sync issue, when is syncing read-only files

I have an OneDrive sync issue, when is syncing read-only files.
All users have Office 365 E3 licenses, on SharePoint document library is shared an folder and are set access permissions:
User1 - has full access;
User2 - has read-only access.
This folder is synced to local computer(Sync SharePoint files and folders ).

 

Scenario 1.

  1. User2 opens the file locally from their workstation from the OneDrive for business folder. The file opens with Read-only rights.
  2. User2 reviews and closes the file. OneDrive does not get any sync issue.

 

Scenario 2.

  1. User2 on computer2 opens the file locally from their workstation from the OneDrive for business folder. The file opens with Read-only rights.
  2. Meanwhile User1 on computer1 opens the file locally from their workstation from the OneDrive for business folder. The file opens with editing rights.
  3. User1 on computer1 edits the file and closes the file. OneDrive does not get any issues.
  4. User2 on compter2 closes the file. OneDrive throws out the sync error!


Issue is that OneDrive cannot overwrite read-only file, which was cashed.
On OneDrive version 22.022.0130.0001 everything works fine, but on 22.077.0410.0007 there are sync issues.
