In Calc, when overwrite (opposed to insert) is selected while editting cells,
the cell and the formula box do not jive after the first time.

For example, if a cell contains "AAAA", and I want to overwrite part of the
contents of the cell, I'll select the cell to start editing (by clicking on the
formula box).  Then I'll press insert on the keyboard (to switch from insert to
overwrite).  The formula box and cell jive.  However, after I'm done editting to
cell (leaving overwrite as is), and I select another cell for editting, I'm
still in overwrite mode.  Now when I start editting the 2nd cell, the formula
box modifies the cell as if I'm in overwrite mode, but the cell in the
spreadsheet modifies the cell as if I'm in insert mode (they don't jive).  When
I'm done editting the cell, the data from the cell (not the formula box) is 
kept.

It is debatable which data should be kept.  I think Excell 'forgets' overwrite
mode after completing editting a cell.  I'd prefer it if Calc doesn't forget
overwrite mode.
