Description markiewb 2014-08-19 08:23:36 UTC 
* open file (f.e. java file)
* press INSERT to enable Overwrite mode (check it in the statusbar)
* copy arbitrary text content from another application/or NB itself into the clipboard
* within NB paste the clipboard content via CTRL-V

ACTUAL: pasted content is inserted
EXPECTED: pasted content is used to overwrite content (because OVERWRITE mode is active)

Is this expected behavior industry practice? Do you know about any editor that does it?
