Bug Description
On 3.1, using the Web client
If you want to change a character in the LDR field, you can't just delete it and add a different character in its place. You have to select it and type over it instead (or go to the flat text editor).
This is a little tricky in cases in which the fixed fields aren't displaying because LDR/06 (Type) is invalid.
I'm not sure what the desired behavior is here. It does seem sensible to protect this field against invalid values, but I don't know what the best way to distinguish between valid and invalid edits would be.

I am not sure if my observation refers to the exact same problem:
We were unable to add value to fixed field in some incorrect bib records, that did not have had created corresponding field before. E.g., we were not able to save the country code to field 008 using the grid or MARC text editor - the value always disappeared after saving. However, if the field had been created using right click option "Add 008" and then the value was added, the value was saved.
The behavior was the same in the web client of 3.1.4 and 3.3.0.
