Opened a previous document - - text - - created in Geany. Wanted to edit a few words by deleting them (using backspace key) and then desiring to type in the new word. What resulted was that the word was deleted but the insertion started overlapping the remaining previous text.
It sounds to me like you're in overtype mode instead of insert mode. Look for the <Insert> key on your keyboard and press that -- it toggles between overtype and insert mode.
