STM32CubeProgrammer reset not working with RDB=0xBB

[sute]

If I set read protection (RDP=0xBB) on my STM32H7 MCU, it seems that both software reset and hardware reset commands stop working, e.g. I type:

STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD sn=XXXXXXX reset=HWrst -hardRst

and nothing happens. Also, the MCU will not reset after flashing if read protection is set to 0xBB. Is this expected behaviour?

Edit. After some experimenting it seems that in the GUI STM32CubeProgrammer it is not possible to run the firmware by clicking Run button in MCU core view if RDB is set. I get "Error: Unable to run application"

Edit. More experimenting: When I try to run

STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD sn=XXXXXXX --start -vb 3

I get:

RUNNING Program ...

 So is it really that starting the application requires read access so it is not possible to do with read protection?

If i good rememmber you need power off after change rdp.

Yes, but powering off does not fix reset and run STM32CubeProgrammer commands not working when read protection is set.

Cant be fix is by design
