Bug #35092	entering text in SQL Query Area in overwrite mode produces strange results

Description:
When typing text in the "SQL Query Area" in "overwrite" mode 
only on the first character of a line, existing text is 
overwritten as expected.
When "over"-typing a character at pos 2 in the line, the character is entered, but the next character has disappeared

line: "12345"        after typeing an "X" at pos 2: "1X45"
line: "1234567890"   after typeing an "X" at pos 3: "12X67890"
etc...

looks like a simple logic error to me!
something to do for Mike ?

Ron 

How to repeat:
in the SQL Query Area type "1234567890"
Now press the "insert" key to go to overwrite mode
Position the cursor at the "5" 
Type a "5" 
output : "123450"

Only when on the first character this seems to work all right.

Something for Mike ?

Thank you for a bug report.

It's been almost a year now, and nothing happened...
Imagine typeing a lot of neat SQL statements, then, out of habit, you press the insert key to start overwriting a small piece of text. boom.
End of exercise, you can start all over again (and no ability to ctrl-z back to where you were)

I understand this is not a major MySql problem, but I use the Query Browser frequently and I assume I'm not the only one. iT's really annoying to have to start over again every time I assume the insert key to work like it is supposed to...

Can you give me a timeframe...

Please

Thanks.
