First thing is that when i highlight a word and try to type over it
(Replacing the word i highlighted) the new word Im typing appears next to
the highlighted word and does not replace it?
Also when i highlight a word, i go to delete it by pressing back space, but
the word stays there and the curser ends up next to it.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks!
