I'm glad the developers added the change of colour to the cursor as it
makes this issue so much easier to identify.

It seems to be a question that almost everyone asks once until the purpose
of the Insert key is explained to them.

I didn't realise that MS Word allowed you to click on OVR/INS to change
its state which is a nice touch, so I should probably file a request in
bugzilla asking for that feature in Abiword shouldn't I? (but I encourage
Paul to save me the effort and request it first).
