- have cus A.java, Derived.java:
------------ A.java --------
package p;

public class A {
  public static void main(String... args) {
    Derived d= new Derived();
    d.method();
  }
}
--------- Derived.java -----
package p;

public class Derived {
}
----------------------------

> mark Derived.java as derived
> close Derived.java
> note the compilation error in A, as 'method' does not exist

- invoke quick fix, select to "add Derived.method()"
> Derived.java is modified without a warning (ok)
> Derived.java is opened with the added method name in linked mode
- type "a"

< expected: a question message box asking me if I want to edit the derived file
> actual: the file is edited before, *then* the message box pops up
- choose "No"
> the file stays edited and dirty and can be saved, but cannot be edited.

Notes:
- undo / redo works in Derived.java, despite that other edit operations do not work.
- Derived.java is modified by quick fix, but not saved. It is unexpected that I have to save a resource that I cannot otherwise edit.
- This is much more disturbing than with read-only files, as the quick fix and refactoring operations pop up a warning before modifying these.
