      Hi only using NOTE++ as a simple text editor which I love but after upgrading I have a weird problem that I don’t understand how to fix.

      First time in forum so please forgive my poor way of explaining… this…

      I type a sentence and go back to the sentnce like … this one.
      I type a sentence and go back to the sentnce like … this one. When I go back to the sentnce and attempt to edit the sentnce by placing my curser which is now an _ symbol instead of normal curser and attempt to insert an e before the nce and it overwrites a letter instead of inserting.

      Is something turned on that needs to be turned off?
      How do I fix this?
      Do I have to uninstall and re-install note++?
      I thought I have the latest downloaded and installed V8.6.2
      I am using Windows 10

      Thank you for listening and eager to get a response.

        Does the lower right of your Notepad++ window have this?:

        If so, press and release the Insert key, to obtain:
