Bug Description
On a normal volume, "delete" puts thing in Trash and shift-delete really deletes. On a read-only volume, "delete" brings up the same warning about really deleting*, which of course will fail. When you try shift-delete, you would expect the same warning. But nothing happens - no reaction to the key press.
Thus can be really confusing, especially if you have the habit of using shift-delete most of the time.
*I guess this is a known bug: it should rather warn that the file can not be deleted.

Actually I got terribly confused, since my removable volume suddenly was read-only. This because there was a filesystem error, and the kernel made it read-only without telling anyone else.
