I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it feels like one and I don't see this
behaviour documented anywhere.

The "problem": If an agenda file is in column view (and therefore read-only),
contains a date for the current week, and you open the agenda view for the
current week, the agenda fails with the error string:

   Text is read-only: #("Type 'e' to edit property" ...)

For more information, check the attached file, which will reproduce the error
with emacs -Q. I tested this on current main and on release_9.6.15.

If this is not a bug but a misconception on my part, please let me know! This
errors the Org agenda and I therefore have to exit that, quit column view in the
corresponding agenda file, and re-open Org agenda again, so I'd like to prevent
this in the future. If it is a bug, I'd be happy to try and fix it, but I would
need some pointers on where to start.

Best,
Rens
