I have just run into another case where text properties and/or overlays clash with a read-only file: column view (M-x org-columns, C-c C-x C-c). In a read-only file, I get the error org-columns-compute-all: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer test.org> If I make the file writable, org-columns works but, of course, does not actually modify the file.
