Doesn't make the bug appear on my setup either.

I was thinking it might be to do with the Insert key, the bug is very
rare to appear on my system, I've seen it about 3 or 4 times at the
most. The only guess I can make is that it's when I'm typing something
in FAST and I accidentally hit the Insert key switching to Overwrite
mode then when I switch back to Insert by pressing the Insert key again.
Again, I cannot confirm this, I've only ever noticed it after its
appeared.
I think the bug is so trivial it should be forgotten anyway.
