Good evening Mark,

Thank you very much for your insightful reply!

I have tried what you advised but unfortunately this does not work: when I go to the protected part of the document and click on the protected text, the right-click 'Cell' menu contains only a 'No selection possible' greyed entry.

The cell is the wrongly protected one because this is where I get the 'read-only' popup I mentioned if I try to backspace at that point.

I can confirm the right-click contextual menu is otherwise the correct option because I can freely use it on the other table in the document to successfully protect (I then get the popup when attempting to edit the text) and unprotect a cell.

Is there something else that I could try? I can take screen captures but it seems the list does not accept attachments.

Thanks again,

Vincent

PS: thanks for opening the bug. In my case, I had a hard time realizing the cell was in read-only mode because i wanted to use search and replace and while the pattern was correctly found, the replacement was not working, without a clue as to why this happened. I think this warrants a bug report as well (there does not appear to be one on the bugzilla).

Unprotect. A bit inconsistent, but hopefully that helps!

I've submitted bug 83011 to report the inconsistency in options to
remove cell protection:
