Whether cells can be selected or not is configurable when enabling protection
for the sheet.

"Allow all users of this sheet to:" defaults to allowing selecting protected
cells.

So if this doesn't work for your particular case, it seems that the person who
protected the sheet explicitly disabled that. I suggest to ask them to allow
this.

I'm closing this ticket for now as NOTABUG, since it seems that this generally
works as expected. (Selecting cells is possible unless explicitly disabled.)

In case you have this issue in cases where selecting has not explicitly been
disabled, please reopen and provide more details (in particular, a sample
file).
