Hi Rainer, hi Carsten,

it does not get lost - it is in my queue.  As are, unfortunately, another 35 threads with possible bugs.  Help is definitely wanted.

Please see below for my comments and a possible fix.

This is a bug which is difficult to fix in all generality.  What should really happen is that the text in the original buffer is made read-only.  But so far this does not happen in our implementation (due to Dan Davison IIRC).  The reason for this is that read-only text properties left by accident in a buffer are difficult to get rid of. 

There are many things the user could go back and screw up the original.  That's why Org choses to protect with highlighting with an overlay.  Note that this is not a protection against editing, but it is a visual warning.

However, what happens during saving is indeed a problem - the overlay gets lost (not really, it gets squeezed to zero by first removing the source code and then inserting the modified version).  

Could you please try this patch and test it to see if it is stable and does the right thing?

Thank you.

- Carsten
