Subject: 24.2; enriched-mode, message "Text is read only" on buffer save
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2013 01:14:41 +0200

================= how to replicate =================
- start up Emacs
- M-x enriched-mode
- write some text like "hello dear friends!" in buffer
- select the word "dear" with the mouse
- make "dear" read-only using Edit/Text properties/
  /Special prop./Read only
- C-x C-s to save file as test1.txt (save operation
  will be successful)
- write additional text " thanks!" after "friends!"
- C-x C-s to save again; this time file saving will
  not succeed, and you will see the message "Text file
  is read only"
====================================================

  May someone please confirm if he/she can replicate
this somewhat weird behaviour. I think it may be some
small error in enriched-mode, but I'm rather new to
Emacs and may have missed something. 

  My kindest regards,
