Insert/Overwrite not working

#1

Hi! I am currently working on a simple Python script that generates a random password. I cannot get Sublime Text to insert text correctly when I press INSERT. The letters type over each other in the same space. 1 2 3 or A B C in the same space, overwriting each other. I hope this can be fixed soon, or ST will be useless to me and I’ll have to jump ship and head off to Vim or Emacs! Please help!

What version of Sublime Text are you using?

I forgot the exact version but I was using the latest development release. I quickly uninstalled it and installed the stable release (ST4) and the cursor works just nicely. I don’t know why I am having this problem. I am using Fedora Linux 41.

There are some reported issues with the latest development build which we’re working on fixing.

That’s good to know! I really like ST, so I thank you in advance for your hard work in getting ST4 fixed.
