overwrite mode unwelcomed

Question

I am translating and suddenly the text is being replaced as I type. I see the "OVR" at the bottom. How in the world do I switch it back to insert mode? I'm pressing the insert key and nothing is happening

I had this issue too: OVR mode got stuck. I finally solved it by remapping the Insert key to do something else (move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen) with AutoHotkey.

Thanks Nora, that worked for me too!

Just hit the "Insert" key again - this toggles the overwrite mode on and off. 
If it does not work, restart Studio - but the problem is not caused by Studio itself, maybe you're pressing the key too fast in sequence.
