Unable to edit MS-Excel online spreadsheet because of other user locking

  1. Problem: Why is a user opening a spreadsheet in the browser (even if with edit.aspx URL) causing a warning "The spreadsheet is locked by another user" if i try to open it in MS-Excel?  I thought Excel Web App allows multiple uses to edit the spreadsheet at the same time?
  2. Solution: Opening the spreadsheet for editing in the browser still locks it for being opened in MS-Excel (and vice versa), but not for opening it for editing in another browser.
