<p>Pressing <b>ctrl-X</b> with the cursor in line 1 to cut in over-write mode produces line 2, which is the same the result as when in insert mode.  Please consider the possibility that it might be more congruent with over-write mode's goal of avoiding change to the column locations of the surrounding text if the result were as on line 3. <i>Thanks!<br>
