I don't complain about this happening :-). Or this third bug in a row in the same area or the windows bibisect repro. Or should I say wasting you're time repro..

This isn't a regression, only the message wasn't shown in the past, cutting never worked. Let's consider it an enhancement.

The message started with the following commit, and says "Write-protected content cannot be changed." Not sure what the actual restriction is here, the message doesn't seem entirely accurate.
