Property from UITextInputTraits can't be assigned

I encounter strange compile error when accessing UITextView as object conforming to UITextInputTraits:

protocol MyEditingView:UITextInputTraits where Self: UIView {
}

extension UITextView:MyEditingView {
}

class SomeClass {
  var editingView:MyEditingView = UITextView()
  func someFunc() {
    editingView.autocorrectionType = .no
  }
}

"Cannot assign to property: 'self' is immutable"

But if property is explicitly declared in protocol, without inheriting from UITextInputTraits it is compiled successfully. 

protocol MyEditingView where Self: UIView {
  var autocorrectionType: UITextAutocorrectionType { get set }
}

And property declaration is same as in UITextInputTraits.

Swift 4.2, XCode 10.1

autocorrectionType property is optional inside UITextInputTraits but when you declare it explicitly in MyEditingView its no more optional property. I tried making it optional property in MyEditingView and got the same compilation error.
