If you go to that window and do C-x b, you enter the name of the buffer to switch to as usual, but then see the error Cannot switch buffers in a dedicated window This error message should appear earlier, as soon as C-x b is given. Emacs should not ask you to type in the new buffer name before it tells you that switching buffers is not allowed.
