Tap the Insert key once and it will be back to normal.

My text editing "rules" have changed. In the past if I wanted to add
a new word to an existing sentence I clicked on the desired
location and inserted the new word. Now when I try to add the
new word it replaces existing text instead of inserting.

I have looked all over for the option to choose insert vs overwrite
but can't find it.
