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.

Thanks,
eric
