[QGIS-Developer] Donations

> Honestly, whether this is a bug or a feature request is debatable, I
personally think that it is a bug because a user would not expect that a
basic software action like editing gets broken when the temporal controller
is active: we should either disable editing in that case or make editing
work with the controller.

That was my thought, too. Also, what is the point of having a
presentation-only tool for temporal data in QGIS if you cannot practically
or effectively edit that temporal data in QGIS as well?
