I really hate that feature, happens to almost everyone at least once (and
it it happens to me more than that, it usually takes me a while to realise
whats going wrong).
Not to say i told you so,
but told you so!!!
(cannot connect to bugzilla right now, but there is a feature request
asking for a warning when you accidentally trigger Overwrite mode)
The question was a perfectly reasonable question to ask but next time
someone asks, it is your turn to answer ;)
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
