--- Comment #2 from Buovjaga <ilmari.lauhakangas at libreoffice.org> ---
This report was brought to my attention by a triager in training, Paul.

After bisecting to find out when this feature appeared, I discovered the
meaning of this feature:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.4#Calc
"Note that when row and column insertions are enabled, you can insert rows or
columns even when the range to insert the new rows or columns into contains
protected cells which will get shifted after the insertion. Row and column
deletions, on the other hand, are only allowed on unprotected cells."

So you need to have cells that *are not protected* for anything to work. Even
if I save and reload, the behaviour is like described in the release notes. If
I try to delete a row while in an unprotected cell, it will not allow it,
because it would delete protected cells.

motoki: does the explanation help? If not, maybe you could attach an example
document for testing.

By the way, I think this article should be updated:
https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/guide/cell_protect.html
I should open a report for it.
