"Open as read-only" check-box does not always have the correct state

Using Password Safe v3.35 on Windows 7 SP1 ...
I have two database files in my directory, one with the DOS/Windows read-only flag set, the other writeable. Double-click the read-only file in Explorer to launch Password Safe to open that file (having previously associated the .psafe3 extension with pwsafe.exe), and the "Open as read-only" check box is ticked and disabled - as I expect. However if I then select the other (not read-only) file from pwsafe by selecting it from the dropdown list of previous files or by clicking the "..." button, the "read-only" box remains disabled and ticked, even though the newly selected file is not read-only.
(This is similar, but not identical to bug #1174)
Same behaviour when running inside wine.
When changing the selection from a read-only file to a writable file, the read-only checkbox is disabled and the file cannot be opened R/W.
