The inhibit-read-only text property in a read-only buffer does not work
with Undo:

C-x b <unique buffer name>, then insert some text, such as:

---

First paragraph.

Second paragraph.

---

Then M-: (put-text-property (point-min) (point-max) 'inhibit-read-only
t), and C-x C-q to make the buffer read-only. Now select the "Se" and
kill it with C-w: it succeeds. Then hit C-/ to undo, select "Sec" and
try to kill again. Now it fails. For any other region that does not
intersect with "Se", killing works.

Cannot reproduce on current master.  Can you reproduce it with emacs -Q?
Do you have any custom undo functionality? (like a package)

You should file a proper bug report with M-x report-emacs-bug, it will
automatically include your Emacs version.

I see I wasn't trying right, it's actually reproducible on master too.

I think this comes from verify_interval_modification (textprop.c).  For
each interval, we check INTERVAL_WRITABLE_P, and then:

commit d1b04a9e7ada7070dbd84bb450411c1f169b3739
Author: Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>
Date:   Sun Nov 16 23:36:58 2014 +0100

+	      && (!NILP (BVAR (current_buffer, read_only))
+		  && NILP (Vinhibit_read_only)))
+	    xsignal1 (Qbuffer_read_only, Fcurrent_buffer ());

So if there happens to be an (writeable) interval ending before "end"
(the end of the region we're killing with C-w), we will signal that the
buffer is read-only.  This may be read as "if we're going over the
boundary of an interval, then check the _buffer_ read-onliness".  Maybe
Lars, as the author of this code, could comment on this.

I think you are right: we need to augment this with something that
pays attention to the inhibit-read-only property.  Would you like to
suggest a patch?

Btw, how is this related to undo?

Thanks.

That property is checked in INTERVAL_WRITABLE_P just above, it looks
fine..  The problem is I don't know what the "if" I cited is for.

> Btw, how is this related to undo?

Before undo, we seem to have one interval spanning all the text.  After
undo, there appears a short interval on which "i->position + LENGTH (i)
< end" triggers.

That tests if the interval is _not_ writable.  But the problem is not
triggered by the interval, it is triggered by characters after the
interval, is it not?

Hopefully, Lars will answer that.

Right, thanks.  So this situation could be recreated without any undo
in the recipe, right?

The buffer is read-only, and all characters have inhibit-read-only
property set (it's in the recipe).  Undo properly restores characters as
well as their properties.  But now, after undo, we don't have one single
interval any more, we have 3 intervals instead: before killed region,
killed (and restored) region, and the rest.  And this is where our
problematic (?) "if" triggers.  So I wouldn't talk about characters
after the interval, no.

Yes, just put-text-property on separate (and adjacent) intervals instead
of the full buffer at once, and try to kill a region which crosses 
any interval boundary:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "ab")
  (put-text-property 1 2 'inhibit-read-only t)
  (put-text-property 2 3 'inhibit-read-only t)
  (setq buffer-read-only t)
  (kill-region 1 3))                    ;(kill-region 1 2) works

Thanks,
Filipp

Hm...  I've re-read the original patch, and I don't really have any
recollection of what my original thought here was, I'm afraid.
