What this does is toggle between text-entering modes.
Overwrite mode where any characters input will replace the current character at the cursors position.
Insert mode where any character input will push the next character one foward.
Think of it like an array, you can either add data and push the rest of the array foward or replace the current data in the array.

Courses Plus Student 1,870 PointsWell I guess you mean the "Indent Guides".. You can simply turn that off via; view and than click on indent Guides.. If you still have problems, try to restart your workspace.. I don't have any problem with it.
