Press the Insert key once.
Click to expand...

....and if that works, go to the Advanced options and uncheck the "Use
the insert key to control overtype mode".

Does anyone have this turned on intentionally?

I do. I expect the Insert key to work this way, and although I do
accidentally toggle it from time to time when I'm shooting for Backspace or
Delete, I wouldn't want not to have that functionality.
